High status in this case is a state of mind, possibly even a matter of raw neurochemistry. So for our purposes it's an absolute state of self-perception, not a relative state that would be computed differently if we changed other people but held the local neurochemistry constant.
If you're saying that people are less smart when thinking of themselves as high status, it sounds like there will already be experiments on that.
