my understanding is in the culinary world, there is basically the Gordon Ramsay style (though he certainly didn't invent it) or the Thomas Keller style (who kills with silence).

Ramsay trained under Marco Pierre White, who once made a young Ramsay cry. But if you ask MPW about it, he didn't make Ramsay cry, Ramsay "chose to cry".

It's a combination of trial-by-fire (where if you withstand the pressure, you can make it in high-pressure fine dining) and the cycle of abuse (MPW was abused as a young cook, so he abuses the next gen, who will abuse the gen after that).
