I understand treating higher status people like you would treat equal status people as signaling a lowering of their status so I think that’s already taken into account.
Not necessarily. Status is transactional and dynamic. High status people (of a certain kind) demand a constant stream of ‘status raising’ behaviors in the same way governments demand taxes.
