There.
I took out the supposition and assumptions you had in there. So what we're left with is:
You left out a few Hinode images I've posted here over the years.

Do I need to post images in every post?
1. Discharges through plasma cause light.
Ya, and only a "discharge" is going to produce light over those ranges of wavelengths. The discharges in our atmosphere do that, including gamma rays (I'll find a link if you like). They do that too in the solar atmosphere. The the only "natural" way these things happen.
2. You like that picture.
Yes, for a variety of reasons in fact. By the way, whats the 'brightest" part of that image, the upper loops, or something lower in the atmosphere?
3. This shows up in wavelengths besides the visual.

Any evidence that it's representative of something bellow the surface, rather than your personal opinion?
Plenty. There are tons of pieces of evidence to confirm this, particularly in the Hinode data due to the extreme resolution of that spacecraft and the fact it has so many instruments on board.
For the record I have tried to build my case *strictly* from publicly available images so that people like GM could not accuse me of tampering with evidence or in his cause outright fraud. That's below the belt, but I knew those types of people exist in the world.
I will eventually put forth some Hinode and STEREO images to make my case, but I have a lot of downloading to do, a day job, and even then there will be GM and his stupid way of doing "science" by public crucifixion to deal with and then what?
Take a look at that Hinode video I posted for sol earlier and explain to me why the pattern of coronal loops lines up beautifully with the penumbral filaments of the sunspot.
There is a direct physical connection between the flow of the coronal loops and the penumbral filament pattern in that image. Why?
