Sometimes total bullshit is celebrated, but total bullshit is never actively suppressed. Therefore systematic censorship of an idea may be the most reliable indicator of its merit.

Careful readers will discern the difference between "may be the most reliable indicator of" and "reliably indicates".
Very careful readers will have noticed the sub-clause, "but total bullshit is never actively suppressed", to which I was referring.

Correct. I take back my comment. Sorry.

No problem, and no apology necessary.
I was being a little facetious, it's just I'm not sure that specific claim is true. For example, Soviets suppressed religion, witchcraft was actively suppressed, etc, - obviously depends partly on what one takes to be "total bullshit". -
Witchcraft was a bit different. It was suppressed (if you mean 16th & 17th century European and North American trials) because they believed it was true, so they had to punish people who were in league of the devil.
