The bar in question is a Mohorovicic geothermoelectric pile, and Kim is tracing the words on the underside with an index finger and her lips moving.

the Mohorovicic discontinuity is where the crust on a geologically active terrestrial world gives way to semi-liquid mantle.
You're familiar with geothermal power? Well a thermoelectric generator creates electricity from a heat gradient. So a Mohorovicic geothermoelectric pile is a kilometers-long thermoelectric generator that creates usable energy from the temperature gradient between the mantle and the surface.
They were always more of a thought experiment than an actual technology. Any civilisation capable of building one would have perfected nuclear fission long beforehand, which is a much more efficient technology.

Overly elaborate and technical metaphors are a weakness of mine.

Clearly a total lack of self-awareness is also a bar to which Kim aspires.

Yep. Got it in one. Good man.

Somebody with either a mind-bending attention to detail, or an obsessive ability to focus on the unimportant?

It's like this, Anslo: Kim is an embarassment. She's a frakking disgrace, in fact. Her existence and status as a capsuleer represents a catastrophic failure of the meritocratic ideal that most Caldari fervently believe in. She's a walking encysted insult to everything the State was founded to stand for, an avatar of what we look like at our very worst. She is living proof that the State does produce anti-intellectual brainwashed xenophobes and hands them power.
Our people gave up a LOT to live according to an ideal of meritocracy, collective responsibility and Heiian. As far as I'm concerned a very, very important part of that is to pursue an ideal of both physical and, more importantly, mental excellence. As far as I'm concerned, the capacity for balanced, rational thought is a vital component of Heiian.
If you met somebody who claimed to be the very paragon of your most cherished ideals while they spit on them and tear them down, wouldn't you find it deeply, personally irritating? Even more so if that person then accused you of pointlessly-hated non-crimes simply for disagreeing with them?
Throw in the frustration that this person, being an Empyrean, is beyond your reach to do anything about, no matter how flexible or flimsy your ethics. You either abide by your moral code and have to watch helplessly as they keep on doing their thing, or else you step outside of your ethical boundaries, do something you find distasteful and still have to watch helplessly as they keep on doing their thing.
It's a no-win situation. The only solution that's even remotely appropriate is mockery and spite. It's not about bullying - it's about demonstrating that there are more sane and intelligent Caldari in the skies than there are Diana Kims.
My scorn will cease only when she is no longer behaving in a manner worthy of it. Until such time, I view it as my damn duty.

Must be a cultural thing. Where I'm from, if you've got a toxic agent in your midst, you do what you can about it.

It was Stittcher, who was killing Caldari citizens doing their duty. It was Stitcher, who is hiding from serving the State in his wormhole. And it is Stitcher, who was among this minority, who were insulting our greatest hero Tibus Heth.
It is Stitcher who is embarassment for all Caldari, and he never should be called Caldari for his deeds.
You forgot the year I spent doing contract work for the Federation Navy in Sinq Laison, or my brief stint as a member of the Guristas-affiliated Veto. Corporation.
And yet other Caldari, including senior officers in the Caldari Navy, have expressed the opinion that I am a better Caldari than you.
Somebody inclined to introspection might stop and think about that one for a second.

((most readings of the word "secret" would suggest that it wouldn't be common knowledge at all.))
I'll be honest, that sounds like the most epic tragiromance that anyone could ignore
