It's very tough to describe people who aren't interesting in order to tell you why they're not interesting, now I've set about doing it. It's like describing a colour.

Because being uninteresting (or the perception of it) is in of itself...interesting.

Well, in the real world where normal people live, no, but philosophically, fine yeah. But then if you want to be philosophical I'd go further and call that equivocation between "interesting: piquing my curiosity in a way I like" and "interesting: some remark can be made", and I don't find the latter interesting to think about anyway.
