Comment Comment by StevenWaterman This is almost textbook countersignalling. The same as:- Signalling: I dress more formally than everyone else to make up for the fact I'm less professional in other ways- No signalling: I dress like everyone else because I am like everyone else- Countersignalling: I wear ratty old clothes with holes in them, and nobody will dare to question it because I'm the important one here parent StevenWaterman 8 months ago
