A really good bullshit-o-meter.

So many issues with major media, corporate announcements, government announcements, and probably many other things can be solved with a good bullshit-o-meter.

What I really mean is critical thinking. Because there are vacuous ways to calibrate a bullshit-o-meter that lack logic entirely and tie one into some ideological goal. Then you can still claim to have a bullshit-o-meter but lack the ultimate goal of it, but it's really not a helpful tool at that point. My original meaning is a true, logic-based bullshit-o-meter.
