which is different from being insulting to signal that one isn't someone who could in the long run

-
but maybe, by themselves, provide less good news about you to the average listener than the less obscure signals
-
so there's a tradeoff between strongly proving yourself to be at least 90th percentile good and weakly at least 99th
-
and picking the "weakly at least 99th" end is evidence that people already know you're at least 90th percentile good
-
so if you can pick just one signal, you send the obscure one andit's like countersignaling inthat you don't send the main one
