I think the author missed one of the motivations behind some of the behaviors: Pure unadulterated bullshitting.
Some folks figure out early in life to talk past their listeners, and some listeners will be intimidated. I found this out by simply playing stupid a number of times (it comes quite naturally for me) and making them explain it fully.
You will be surprised at the number of charlatans exposed by this tactic.
