That's right. Imagine if one of the debaters didn't even care or react to what the other was saying. That's a textbook high status move. The fact that the two are engaged in a debate, already puts them both in the same tier of status, with the winner of the "debate" going slightly higher.
Actually, the biggest status move I can recall was using your opponent's first name.
