apologetics / discipleship at times (often?) requires answering the details with the big picture.

cf. catechising

cf. S and the Supremacy of Christ pg 18:

“Mohler convincingly argues that “we must be the people who cannot talk about [a particular sin] simply by talking about [that particular sin]”—that is, we must start with the larger
issues at stake”

 

Not sure about how to organize the definition of a node vs. the descendants of a node.  Right now have node type field with population vs. attribute options.

Another approach could be to try and define and provide evidence for a certain taxonomy.  Hmm…

For now, I’m doing it down in descendant nodes.
