Yup. I'm on a slippery slope I know. But in one of the Dialogues Socrates compares a dialectician to a carver -- the good carver divides the meat at the joints rather than splintering the bones. And I rather think that "violence" as a category splinters a good number of bones and misses a number of joints.
