I've got to call bullshit on this as well. No one is going to lose confidence due to something like that and results of one game with small crowd are very luck dependant. It feels like you won at roulette and are attributing your win to something genius you think you did.
- motohagiography 6y agoPlausible, with the slight exception it was on purpose, and breaking peoples balls on their mystical folk understandings of why they think they're good is very much a competitive strategy. See sports psychology for examples. The way to bullshit a bullshitter is to seize the initiative and give them an out where they save face. Nothing brilliant, but it's funny, and standard in sales. A bit of charisma goes a long way. I've absolutely been the mark in other situations, but that one, I thought it was intentional enough to share.:)
