    And here's what no one tells you: You can make students and professors more rational, more reasonable, and more thoughtful.

This assumes that the one calling BS is rational, reasonable, thoughtful. The bias and ignorance that we are least aware of is usually our own. IMO it's good to call BS when it is plain, and it isn't unnecessarily disruptive to do so. There's nothing wrong with being selective about your moments.

I don't believe Jesus rose from the dead. My Grandma does. I don't think it necessary or worthwhile that I 'call her out' on it.
