Social acceptability , that is what all interaction are made off.
At the beggining of the pamdemic I wore a mask for non pandemic reason and a person made a joke to me laughing “Is that for the corona virus ?” , months everyone wore them for pandemic reason , and no one made a joke about it (and probebly didn’t rembmer their previous attitude).
Which is essential and which accidental , the competence or the group ?
A GoSC is a means to an end , the craftsmanship is the end.
When judging an outsider , an Inner Ring care more about group members then competency.
