@paulbaumgart I noticed that tendency in myself and consider it a bad signal as it seems mostly from resentment as I'm not polished2 replies 0 retweets 2 likes -

@kylemathews@paulbaumgart Kyle, totally. At the same time, highly polished ppl aren't showing their true colors. Merits some mistrust, no?1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@KevinSimler@paulbaumgart see my other tweet to Paul but basically I don't think polish is strongly correlated with untrustworthiness.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@KevinSimler@paulbaumgart yeah and perhaps their opaqueness is a tribal thing too. I can read engineers easily where most people can't.1 reply 0 retweets 3 likes
@kylemathews @paulbaumgart this is my current favorite just-so story for human hairlessness btw: open kimono → more trust all around
