That's the kind of perception I'm talking about. I can tell you for sure, after all the years I've been doing this job, that such perceptions are anything but clear. They feel clear because that interpretation matches your priors, but such a feeling is not reliable, and when people use it as a basis for strongly-worded comments (e.g. "taking down a peg"), the result is conflict.
