Not taking a side, but to understand the comment you are replying to, you would do well to look up the concept of countersignalling.

  Does counter-signaling require intent or only action? A. If I care what people think, but work to communicate that I don't, that's pretty obviously counter-signaling. B. If I genuinely don't care what people think, but my actions are outwardly indistinguishable from those in A, is that counter-signaling?

    This sounds equivalent to "Is signaling about the signal-giver or the signal-recipient?"

      Indeed it does. If I practice haruspicy*, in so doing am I receiving signals from the gods? * - the inspection of the entrails of sacrificed animals
