While Sagan's advice is great, it's still putting burden on the individual to handle bullshit.
The more I've thought about bullshit as a phenomenon, the more I think the only real solutions are social ones, where non-bullshitters need to coordinate to make bullshitting a bad scenario. Things like shaming, publicly crying bullshit, coordinated dismissing bad actors.
If handled individually, it'll always be asymetrically easier to bullshit than to defend against bullshit.
