Irrelevant, it's about the rhetorical device not the content.

Regardless I think it might really arise naturally then to some extent - regardless of "outside" perception. Like say when referring to counterproductive medical practices "Like doctors wearing neckties as germ reservoirs - not antivaxxers trying to avoid autism." Of course that deniability would be part of its appeal.

A bull shits regardless of intent. Is the standard for writers "human" or "golden calf"?
