BS gets in the way of performance... in my opinion.
Insecurity generates BS... in my experience. For grins, check out this auto BS Generator: http://www.atrixnet.com/bs-generator.html
I suspect you will generate some things you have heard in business at one time or another in your career.
Just remember, when you hear somebody spouting BS there is a high probability that someone is feeling insecure. Your option is to do something to "put them in their place... show them up" or you can patiently and politely let them go on, seek clarity and judge for yourself if you can get them to speak plainly enough to work with them or need to suggest that they move along.
We all have done it... we all will do it again and again. We all seem to be insecure in one way or another. That would seem to me to warrant a little patience from time to time. Having said that, if it persists despite your best efforts or starts cresting the top of you hip waders... it is time to push the eject button and come up for fresh, plain air.
