§IV (on why earnest and savvy people should understand each other) illustrates Scott's pathological commitment to mistake theory. He doesn't see that savvy don't (just) have more skills to extract signal from a "naturally" occurring source of lies. They're collaborating with it!
I really got that feeling reading it, but I'm having trouble narrowing it down. The kind of kremlinology that eg Zvi does definitely doesn't seem collaborative, but I have the sense that as we move to less clarity-promoting examples there's a slope here...

The problem isn't being personally savvy enough to hear the signal; the problem is quietly believing that "No one was fooled" rather than blowing the whistle.
