There's a difference in intent which isn't obvious from the atonal text medium. Humans are pretty good at spotting fake in person. Thus the desire to shake a hand and look in the eye. Over email, I think many people have developed a decent sense for it, but it's much harder to distinguish the two.

I doubt it. People can be really really talented at being convincing but fake.

Define "pretty good" how you'd like, but to me both statements can be true.
