Eh, sorta. (Voted up.) But I think the psychology is somewhat different. It's like, "I'm going to be explicit about what signalling games I am participating in so that when you have contempt for me when I explicitly engage in them I get to feel self-righteous for a few seconds because I know that you are being hypocritical". On the virtuous side, making things explicit is important for good accounting. Ideally I'd like to make it easier for me to be damned when I am truly unjustified. (I just wish there were wiser judges, better institutions than the ones I currently have access to.)
This comment exemplifies itself.
I see what you did there.
ETA: you didn't need to edit to add "This comment exemplifies itself."
Wow, it's been a long time since someone chided me for pointing out the obvious! Heh. Point taken. (Sorry about editing after the fact, this almost never causes problems and is pretty useful but it does blow up once every 100 comments or so.)
I wasn't chiding, only trying to prevent my comment from looking stupid.
