I always thought it was about how hard it is to get going again when you're pointing up rather than down.

This my understanding as well, it was based on being able to restart riding again

Are we still talking about the same type of riding?

It was originally adapted from walking trails in Europe, everything should be directional on high use trails these days to avoid conflict.

Yep, it's derived from dual directional trails which are usually old hiking tracks. All new trails really should be constructed single direction but there's quite a few that are still made dual direction for various reasons. There's several in Tassie.

Correct, that is the original reason why the descender gives way, but it is much easier for the climber to stop and step aside and hear the person descending coming than it is for the descender to pull up or to hear and see the climber in time to pull up.

You obviously never heard me huffing and puffing trying to get up a hill

I guess I'm the only one that gets frustrated by gags like this. FFS it's an example not a description.

Maybe, but it wouldn't be funny if there wasn't a ring of truth to it.
I'm sure that a fair number of us have encountered this workplace sociology.

One thing that could be more annoying is if some pedant pointed out that it is not a flow chart but and org chart.......
