You know what this concept reminds me of? In the bodybuilding documentary filmed in the 70's called Pumping Iron about Arnold Schwarzenegger (it's a right old homoerotic fest of weirdness if you've not seen it, but anyway), some of the other body builders were trying to get one up on Arnold by saying he had been top dog for too long and that "the old wolf on top of the hill is not as hungry as the one climbing the hill"...to which Arnie said "that's true, but if the old dog want's the food, it's right there for him to take"...or something like that. The guy knew he was entitled, he has massive dominance in his field and was top of the tree, and his reaction said so many things about his reality. All kinds of experience, reference, comparison, verbal persuasion...all leading to his mindset. Not surprised he's been successful, despite having the acting skills of a brick.

Anyway, I like the concept and will bear it in mind, cheers for the post.
