so

That doesn't follow. Do they really raise and lower status in equal proportions? Regardless of initial status?

As long as we're on the topic of status, I'd be interested in using the grandparent to this comment as a case study. At first I took your response as an indicator that I should have phrased the grandparent less confidently (i.e. lower status), but then I realized that you might not have pointed out what you did if my comment wasn't so direct, and the conversation overall is probably nice and crisp to read. But then it occurred to me that if you hadn't come along, people might have become too confident in the grandparent. Thoughts?

Thoughts?

No, no thoughts.

Fair enough.
