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.
What you are basically saying is that they can observe you knowing your shit plenty of times, but they don't actually put a little checkbox in their head next to "this dude know what they are talking about" until you yell at them and say "I have demonstrated plenty of times that I know my shit, and you need to put that checkbox in your head" ?
Actually I was pissed at them for something else. I think the act of chastising was what changed our interactions, not the content of said chastization.
