I'm tempted to downvote the post solely for this. I'll hold off until I've had a chance to write more about (first) status, then (possibly) signalling. "Signalling" is the other concept that I'm seeing used a lot around here in a way that manages to consistently confuse me.
Meanwhile, let me just be on record as being very, very skeptical of the above assertion.
I was hoping that would be identifiable as a joke. You know, article about making assertions and then saying you have evidence without giving any, then making a controversial assertion and saying I have evidence without giving any? Sort of ironic, ha ha? No? Okay, sorry, I won't do it again.
I get the impression that the parenthetical was not the cause of the counterfactual downvote.
I also failed to identify it as a joke, so perhaps you were too subtle. :-) Thanks for the clarification.
