I suspect everyone continually underestimates "have powerful allies", and that this effect is larger than mico-behaviors, because surrounding yourself with powerful allies begets better micro-behaviors anyway, in addition to myriad other benefits(you are the average of your surroundings).
Given that everyone spends most of their time and emotional processing resources optimising for alliances and that perhaps a majority of advice and self help books can be considered to be giving advice for optimising alliance building this seems unlikely.
People seem to care more about affiliation than about building alliances that are useful.
I agree (enthusiastically) with the position that people's heuristics regarding social alliances are often grossly miscalibrated to the actual environment they live in.
