Absolutely. This is the sort of thing I was referring to in the last sentence.

The point being, just because they don't seem to go to great pains to distinguish themselves from the non-counters, doesn't mean they're only trying to differentiate from one group: status above both is still the goal, even if they don't have to actively "seek" it.
