Half of those tips occur in most hour long meetings I already attend. When a participant in the meeting uses one of those techniques all I think is: wow, in no way did you just contribute to this discussion.

I think my PM's have this printed out on a cheat sheet they bring to each meeting.

The problem with this statement is that you're assuming everybody's as smart at spotting bullshitters and manipulators as you. What if only 20% of people in the room noticed what they were doing and the other 80% thought they were a genius?

This is often the case and it's why strictly rational people are playing an irrationally weak hand.
