This is basically saying O(bullshit) ⊂ O(refutation)

Since we know proving things is an NP problem, that means coming up with bullshit is also in NP (or lower).

I think that this assertion, while true, is ameliorated by the fact that crt+c and crt+v exist. There are a finite number of bullshit arguments, and that number is shrinking all the time.

I assert that there is an infinite number of novel bullshit arguments, however, the number of them that are used for the first time is shrinking.

I agree with your second point, but disagree with your first. As the pool of novel things to argue about decreases, so do does the number of bullshit arguments associated with them.

The theory of computation tells us that there are infinitely many programs to solve problems, so there is an infinite number of problems, and each one can have bullshit made up about it in its own way.

But the number of novel things bullshiters have access to is finite, and so is the number of sufficiently different arguments based on these topics.

But not the number of ideas. Ideas can be created on the spot, so there are no physical limitations.

I disagree. While ideas are very easy to create, they need to come from somewhere. At the end of the day, all imagination has some very slight basis in reality. No matter how creative you get with your bullshit, at some point you start repeating yourself.

In practice, there are two physical limitations: the number of configurations of the brain at a given moment, and the amount of time it is working on producing bullshit.
