I don't think you can have too strong bs detector. After it rejects something it's not forever. When the thing you rejected occurs in new contexts or produces new results you will reevaluate and either reject it again or withdraw your rejection. That's the point where intelligence comes in so that you won't withdraw your rejection too soon or reject a valid thing too persistently. But from what I noticed evaluation made at this stage are rarely a problem. The bulk of the problem is not strong enough bs filter for the initial rejection to happen. And once someone believes in something it's very hard for him to lose that belief. Garbage sticks.
