I have a crankish theory that looking downwards lowers your unconscious estimation of your own social status

Why is this crankish? I consider this totally plausible.

To the extent that height correlates with status and status is positional, I'd naively expect it to be the other way round (you look upwards when you're surrounded by taller people and downwards when you're surrounded by shorter people).
