It's BS. They know it. You know it (or should know it). Everyone knows it.

Wow. I've gotten so many form rejection letters for various things and I've never been "excited" for myself as a result of the BS puffery in those rejection letters. I always laughed when an interviewer who absolutely hated me and didn't think I was the least bit qualified told me how much they enjoyed meeting me and how they thought I was great for whatever except they just don't have enough spots.
