Are you saying that like: A gentleman is someone who is intelligent enough to bullshit you, but chooses not to?

A gentleman is one who lies about being able to play the bagpipes.

(no, you're right, of course)

Would say, A gentleman is someone who is intelligent enough to spot Bullshit.
Being good at bullshitting makes it easier to spot bullshit.
Disagree. I think a lot of bullshitters assume everyone else is bullshitting, including when they are not.
In fact, they can't imagine a world that doesn't operate this way.
This is a fantastic definition for Gentleman/woman
