I don't understand your objection.

Using claim of immunity to status and authority games as evidence to assert a claim.

Which is to say, you are using a claim of immunity to status and authority games to assert status and authority.

Asserting a claim is not the same thing as asserting status and authority.

I'm not sure what you want from Ilya here. He seems to be describing his motivations in good faith. Do you think he's lying to gain status? Do you think he's telling the truth, but gaining status as a side effect, and he shouldn't do that?

Quick edit: Oh, I should probably have read the rest of the thread. I think I understand your objection now, but I disagree with it.
