I also imagine the converse. A good antibullshitter can be a passable bullshitter.
If you know which patterns peg your bogometer, you can avoid using them yourself in situations where you need to be believed.
For instance, I know that logorrhea, babbling, and "the gallop" are strong indicators of deception. The bull can always shit faster than the farmer can shovel it. So when I want to be believed, I could pause after every point, and maybe take some strawmen from a partially-scripted faux-skeptic conspirator so I can knock them down.
