At first I was expecting to read a piece from some one who is sincerely, genuinely polite—as in someone who genuinely thinks that your job is hard, or that helping celebrities wear jewelry is interesting, or that they hold a conversation simply like to without any underlying game of Raconteur as their motive. After reading through the article I started to get the sense that rather what the author puts forth is a farce. But then, that's sort of what politeness is, right? The fact that you can get something so positive out something rather disingenuous is really intriguing.
