I don't really care that much about convincing anyone of anything in particular, but I do acknowledge that an interaction occurred between us which could plausibly be construed by observers as a dominance/power play. Further I agree that within that framing, my actions were somewhat outside accepted social bounds and could be seen as treating you as an inferior and expecting a submissive response. (That was not my intention.)
However, I am modeling you now as reflexively implementing a counterstrategy to the percieved threat wherein you challenge the legitimacy of said action by appealing to the fact that, should I continue to display the same lack of tact in the future, I would make a poor ally, in a way that also constrains my response to either continuing to demonstrate the same fact, or making a gesture of submission myself.
As I care nothing whatsoever for this game, I'm happy to do the latter, if you prefer (see first response). I would prefer though to -- without unduely upsetting people -- be able to reason more transparently from (what I believe to be) more precise and more predictive models than what I've seen used in the thread thus far, as getting Hazou to make higher quality/less naieve decisions on this front is somewhat instrumental to larger goals.
