The fictional Dr. House may be the world’s foremost medical diagnostic but he refuses to conform to any authority or convention. Dr. House is famous for wearing blue jeans and frat boy t-shirts while his colleagues wear ties and slacks and he openly rebels against authority. Despite breaking all the rules, House goes about his business with little reprehend–because he can….T-shirt and etiquette breaking in a business environment = power display.

Does this equal or demonstrate accomplishment or quasi-accomplishment?
