I’m one of the +4s. I would believe the liars in this post are being filtered out before they get to you Ruby, but they aren’t all getting filtered out before they get to me, and they aren’t getting filtered out of the general population fast enough that the man on the street won’t run into them.
I actually squint a bit at “highly incompetent” in a weird way; the thing they’re doing works surprisingly well in my observation. Emphasis on “surprising”! It stinks, I hate it, and also I kinda do think it works sufficiently well in some social environments that it’s positive expected value for them.
Noted! Thanks for responding and clarifying. If you had any examples you’d encountered, that might be helpful.
In my case, I have encountered, e.g. startup founders who lied to their clients blatantly, but semi-competently in that they could hope to not get caught. Things like “our product can [already] do that too” and then run to the engineers.
