Where it comes from
In On Bullshit (1986) Harry Frankfurt pointed out that a liar has to know the truth in order to hide it. The bullshitter “pays no attention to it at all”, which makes bullshit a greater enemy of the truth than lies are.
How to play it

What it teaches (try it first)
A liar cares about the truth enough to hide it. Bullshit doesn’t care either way, which makes it more dangerous than lying.
Ask yourself. Which line from your last all-hands would survive “meaning what, exactly?”
