I’ve been thinking about that top image for a day now and find it really good and helpful. It gets at both “parts may use opposite strategies for achieving the same goals” and the hierarchical nature of goals. I’m going to start using that image or something like it from now on when explaining these things.
My only suggestion would be to reverse the order: I had difficulties reading it until I figured out that the logic goes from the right to the left, and not the other way around.
