thanks for recognizing that pointing out BS is tough. I think we are socially trained not to point out BS, because it requires being rude (especially if the BS is coming from someone across the table, not in the newspaper).
On my desk at work I have a list labelled "Big lurking IM issues that noone wants to deal with". I've never quite gotten the guts to keep that list running all the time, but sometimes I manage to pull one of the issues out from under the rug, and this morning on the bus (from KW) I managed to make a whole list. Luckily the new boss is willing to look these demons in the eye, so here goes more iconoclasm.
