That isn't true (or at least doesn't follow). It isn't mimicry to actually dominate when that domination hurts oneself (or a particular goal). It's just a signalling behavior that happens to be counterproductive to some goal.
Successful dominance isn't what's being signaled; "successful dominance" IS the signal. "Good at leadership" is what's being signalled.
Saying that instead of what you actually said would have saved me a whole lot of trouble.
I thought that's what I did say; I apologize if I was unclear. My brain isn't what it used to be, so clear communication is sometimes a struggle.
