It takes two to tango

“SLOW SLOW QUICK QUICK SLOW that’s how we go. And, by the way, I lead, you follow. Counter-leading is off. Should you lean too heavily on me, I will keep you at arm’s length. That way you will have to maintain balance without me holding you up.” Anti-monopoly watchdogs rest assured: This is no coded strategic agreement between competitors in a market duopoly. This is ballroom tango etiquette. “ONE TWO THREE FOUR, tara tara ta, ONE TWO THREE FOUR.” Or as the British would say: “honi soit qui mal y pense.”
