An expanded framework adding eight dimensions for even more nuanced bullshit evaluation. The additional axes include: 9) Intentionality (whether the bullshit is deliberate or the speaker is self-deceived), 10) Audience (who the bullshit targets), 11) Cultural Resonance (how well it fits existing beliefs), 12) Emotional Appeal (how much it leverages emotion), 13) Identity Loading (how tied it is to group identity), 14) Institutional Embeddedness (whether it's backed by institutions), 15) Historical Persistence (how long it's been around), and 16) Refutability (whether it can be effectively countered). The 16 axes provide a comprehensive bullshit analysis toolkit.
