I generally agreed with your parent, and think it worth repeating. So I'll take your comment at face value and attempt to paraphrase. Their problem with the article is that it makes the wrong assumption that everyone should be able agree on what does / does not count as bullshit. Including, recursively, the article itself. In the past and in places many of us prefer not to go now, there were "arbiters of taste" who were able to influence many people's thinking by representing themselves as "the truth" (you know - the one without the bullshit). We now live in a more open marketplace of ideas which, most likely, your parent is happy about. He / she would not like the article's author, nor anyone else, to resume such authority. They likely believe that though bullshit-everywhere might be true, it is still a price worth paying for diversity of ideas.
