Bullshit isn't EVEN wrong... its meaningless quackery that uses words people who don't understand find important (intelligence signalling). Profundity is in the eye of the beholder, and I may sometimes argue about specifics, but like stereotypes it has some value even in refutation or outside of its field...F=ma!


There are certainly statements that are easy to identify as bullshit or not; the problem is what happens with the probably much larger set that's somewhere in the middle.
