It's interesting and revealing that you (deliberately?) fail to mention how you arrived at these numbers.

It's almost as if you have absolutely no clue how good you actually are at catching bullshitters.

That's not fair or accurate. They said they had a basis for concluding they didn't fail to catch BSers - experience with hires afterwards. They also said they could only guess at the number of false positives.

That means they supported their conclusion where they made one, and refrained from a definite conclusion where they couldn't make one.

Yes, and that basis is based on ... nothing!

Actually, it's worse. The claimed 100% hit rate implies classifying everybody as a bullshitter.
