> The vast vast majority of people are not "signaling" when they do things, they are just doing things. I agree with you that most actors don't consciously make decisions based on how they will be perceived and instead just do things. However, I don't think that stops other actors from, without thinking themselves, taking those actions as signals and judging others by those signals. We as the actors being judged can choose to think through those things or not. Either way we're being judged by those "signals". And either way I'm judging others based on those signals.
