You seem to be referring to linguistic contexts in which the purpose is not aletic (or in the direction of aletic) but emotional (etc). (For what the hypotetical are concerned, they are T/F statements... They do not access a truth in the set of instanced facts, but one in the logical realm - still not BSing.) The dimensions can be relatively independent - so you could plot the instances on a Cartesian graph, one axis describing the "adherence to Truth", the other other practical intents. You may be comforting, you may be selling, etc.: you can do all of that without lying. Here we are discussing: it is not impossible that somebody came just to pass the time (purpose), with utter disregard to any truth, and that may facilitate drifting towards bullshitting - but it a more fitting idea to regard exchangers as investigators over some matter, which is still an aletic activity, and the opposite of BSing.
