SA:  What do you call somebody that goes around saying everybody's wrong but him, and that he is the only true philosopher.  That the SOL is the only way intellectual way and all other's are not intellectual enough.  It was his way and nobody else could even reach his high horse.  No room for creativity and democracy.  It wasn't how we saw it.  It was only about how Bo saw it.  Original, yes, but to the point of suppression.  He placed everybody's ways and ideas into levels beneath him - he did the placing.  There is definitely a fine line between original and dictorial and 'thinking one is correct and other's are not correct, his whole voice in the wilderness, but I'm sure we all believe we are a voice alone in the wilderness at times.
     This could also be how the levels system could be construed, thus, the defect in the levels that has nothing to do with Bo but somehow how Bo used it was still demeaning and placing people below him was his speciality.  Darwin probably never thought Hitler would use his natural selection idea or that some today would use it to support their economic darwinism.
