> In my mind, it can't be both bullshit and correct.

It's easy for bullshitters to say some true things, but it doesn't change the nature of the process that got the results. Ex:

________

Person A: "The ghost of my dead gerbil whispers unto me the secrets of the universe, and I am hearing that the local volcano will not erupt today."

Person B: "Bullshit."

[24 hours later]

Person A: "See? I was correct! I demand an apology for your unjustified comment."
