Good point
I think you're right that coconut oil by reputation goes rancid more slowly than other oils. (Probably especially if it is made with fresh, high quality coconuts and stored in a sealed container with no air.)
But I'm not sure I agree with your suggestion about oils being masters of deception. I think that once you have trained yourself wih sniffing a few oil bottles that have been sitting on the counter for a few months, you'll be able to recognize rancid oil. It smells nasty, and if you try to taste it, it tastes bitter and stings the throat. (I've tried a tiny bit of ransid canola and olive oil; so far, never tried rancid coconut oil, to my knowledge.)
