So what you are saying is that the formality is so much a part of the culture that it is a key component in even the most basic ways of identifying yourself and everyone else. It sounds like the games people play when at court. One word or phrase has so many layers that just the very tone it is said in can make it mean different things. Even a small shift in tone can take a greeting to an insult that one would kill another over very easily.
