It is perhaps worth noting that wedrifid didn't say anything about motives (conscious or otherwise).

Whether I believe someone is trying to sabotage my position (consciously or unconsciously) is a different question from whether I believe they are making a move against me in a shared social hierarchy. (Although each is evidence for the other, of course.)
