These are good examples showing that status signals are not singular, isolated actions, but are interpreted by combining many different signals into a larger, complex whole with highly variant outcomes depending on which signals are being combined (alternatively, "context").
I think recent posts on the topic are simplifying too much and providing overly broad, vague definitions of "signal" and "status".
You have to understand the idea that inferred self-optimization is a component of intuitive status inference.
Deniz gave good examples if how this component can be dominated or logically negated by other factors.
Evidence? If he (and apparently others) doesn't understand it or doesn't agree with you, doesn't that suggest it might not be an intuitive component?
