"do bullshit" is unethical and possibly illegal. More importantly, overpromise underdeliver is a sure way to fail.

You cut out the context. It wasn't "do bullshit", but "Do bullshit padding around your entire story."

That is pretty much every company out there. Company leaders revise their history to make them more attractive, come up with visions in hindsight and add ethic concerns etc.

OP did not say what you claim he/she did.

So, if I read correctly : "add ethic concerns" is "bullshit padding". Right ?

No, you did not read that correctly. What has happened to HN? Suddenly there's trolls everywhere.
