It involves the word, herikudaru and herikudarugo and what is the difference between that language and keigo. I read in my dictionary: "hito wo saki ni tatete jinbun ha herikudaru." as one of the meanings of kenshou. If you like this question I have plenty more

When you receive something you say "itadakimasu" it is I think keigo. you naven't heard of this?

Herikudaru or kenjo go is like express yourself rather downwardly, for example, instead of saying "I help you", I say, "I serve you (because you are above me)". Or at least, say, I- not so worthy as you hambly hope my doing so would be of help to you, kind of tone.
Keigo does not need to bring your position down, just bring the other up, so, is a bit like saying, "I am sure you do not need help on this, as you are super cool but I say this just in case you would find it comes handy".
Well kind of that.

I've lived in Japan for 8 years and I have no clue as to what you're talking about.
