Bullshitting

Or "high-loss example"



Bullshit implies active intent to deceive about your level of knowledge/understanding. In other words, it's even more anthropomorphic.


Yes I agree now. "High loss example" while not catchy might be closer. Although it is a bit backwards as you only think about creating the target once you sense the answer is not great.
