I'm sticking to my theory that much of what made Damore's document problematic - or problematic enough to warrant what happened - was due to, essentially, tone.

Maybe I am naïve, but I do strongly believe that it is completely possible to express non-orthodox positions in a way that doesn't prompt that kind of backlash. (And to put my money at least somewhat where my mouth is, I'll totally workshop something with anyone reading this if they're wanting to express such a position.)

Going back to OP, if I rephrase "k-complicity" as "don't challenge people with lethal power; instead be silent", then this all becomes "don't talk normally to people about sensitive things; instead be exceptionally kind."

I continue to think this is not a reasonable reading of Damore's document. There is absolutely nothing wrong or unprofessional about Damore's tone.
