Since the definition is the basis upon which the rest of the video is bases, the rest of the video is gibberish as well.

A useful definition for bullshit is: that which cannot be backed up with logical reasoning and/or that which has only been backed up with specious reasoning (i.e. no attempt has been made to employee logical reasoning). In the above quoted exchange, where do you see the most critical thinking skills being utilized? This isn't intended as a critique of any individual user, but rather a case study in clear thought processes.
