absolutely this! Gervais principle is a very valuable (and entertaining) way to decode what is going on in the organization. The one bit of advice I would give to someone trying to use Gervais to understand someone in the organization's motivations : just because they may act according to Gervais doesn't mean they are bad or evil or broken in some way.
