Yes. Actually I recently experienced something very odd.
I was recently quite angry with someone, and I told them. I was noticeably, noticeably angry at the time.
Ever since then, that person's taken my professional opinion more seriously.
I suspect that people don't take rational data (like observed technical competence) and apply it to their subconscious reasoning and attention systems. It's a failing of theirs for mis-prioritizing input. To get across it, you've gotta get priority on other planes.
