The image one thinks one is projecting may not be the one that is seen 
by another observer.

For example, looking at the fellow with the pointy thing on his shirt,

he is greater than.  Were the fellow with the pointy thing on his shirt 
to look at it in a mirror, he would find that the image is reversed, <, 
and he is actually less than.

Suggesting one action, then acting in a different manner, may result in 
a disappointed double-take, as = illustrates.
