I think not. Your position would have us choose between leaving obvious bullshit totally unchallenged or trying to sail upwind into the Bullshit Asymmetry Principle. I, for one, reject both options and am perfectly comfortable with others expressing their disdain succinctly. Tl;dr: pffft.

It is not "bullshit" as you said it, since no real argument was made that it is. Hitchen's razor applies to your claim.
