The quoted book (Bullshit by Frankfurt) also examines the consequences but more importantly defines bullshit as manipulating the perception of intent. I found the best example was the politician who does a speech with religious claims and hero worship. The book says that whether that politician is actually pious is besides the point, the politician doesn't care about the truth value of what he says but rather about being seen in a particular light. The book argues that bullshit can be the bigger enemy of truth than straight up lying because it has no actual regard for truth at all.
