The only ones "sweating the small stuff" are those who think someone is telling them how to dress.Indeed, how we carry ourselves is a part of "appearance." Hence, why I stressed the portion of appearance I believe is important and distinguished it from what I believe is irrelevant. However, I'm not polite because I care about the opinions of others. I'm polite because that's how I was raised. I treat everyone well, until they've given me a reason to cease doing so. Anyone who doesn't like the way that I comport myself, whether in attitude or apparel, is perfectly welcome to take a long walk off a short pier.
My point was that what we, as LAC's, do will likely have a longer lasting impact than how we look, so let's not sweat the small stuff, eh?
I agree with your position, to a point. The only ones who see how polite you are, are those you directly interact with, or who are in close proximity to you when you do interact with others. Your physical appearance is seen by everyone who has a direct view of you. I choose to pay attention to how I look, as well as to how I act.
