> Perceptivity: [...] Adults gifted in this way detect and dislike falsehood and hypocrisy.

Having issues with hypocrisy (outward or inward) is something that "gifted" people typically have an issue with. Extreme intelligence (which is an indicator of being "gifted") is something that pervades our industry - hence our industry generally has a strong reaction to hypocrisy.

Don't believe for one second that the average person (or SFer) cares how hypocritical they are being, don't think for one second that pointing that out to them will change anything.

The only way to change their behavior is to the remove or resolve the problem that causes their hypocritical behavior.
