6. Instinctively? Intuitively? I am thinking you are incomplete in your
analysis as you did not pontificate on the whys and wherefores part of the message.

2. Yes.
Many of them believe that they are, somehow, unique. So it frequently never occurs to them that someone is scamming _them_.

7. Feeding their vanity
would, I guess, be a subset of what I think I'm saying.

8. I would think One could be vain about one's Uniqueness and therefore
weak to that sort of angle. The Achilles heel so to speak.

13. Well, I guess I am equating the terms "bullshitting" with "shooting the shit"
I love bullshitting/shooting the shit with my friends; busting chops, cracking jokes, and just laughing.

Camaraderie is a beautiful thing. :)

14. Yes, I suspect there is a difference. I think datasuspect is correct
and moondog wishes he was correct, but I suppose there is a flaw in in his theory.
