Exactly as I just described, although perhaps more clearly than that.
SteveC has no power to force me to use 1 for true or -1 for false, or
0 for false.  And yet if SteveC said "folks, let's use yes and no as
binary values, and not 1, 0, or -1." most people would do as he says.
Not because he is forcing them, or is going to take all his marbles
and go home, or is going to dismiss *.*@Cloudmade, or will say bad
words to people.

No, he is a leader because we respect him.  THAT is how leaders in
an anarchic state arise.
