Amazing accounts favoring the growing interdimensional interpretation of Bigfoot. Hard to discount what plain and honest people are saying they saw right before them. Orbs of light, footprints stopping in the middle of the mud, and witnessed portal openings.

"The Fallacy of Incredulity (or Personal Incredulity) is a logical error where someone claims a proposition must be false (or true) simply because they can't personally understand, imagine, or believe it, rather than using actual evidence or reasoning. It's dismissing something complex or counterintuitive (like evolution or quantum physics) by saying, "I can't see how that works, so it must not be true," which is fallacious because personal lack of understanding doesn't negate reality."---Google AI

At least the BF community is realizing that its narrative needs coherence. Can't really get that from the old conception of it being a bygone primate that eluded extinction and literally abides in North America. Which somehow perpetually avoids non-bogus bones and feces and rotting flesh being found that would be subject to genetic examination -- a feat that no other animal can accomplish.

So switching to BF being an intermittent visitor from "elsewhere" at least diminishes the amount of body evidence that would be left behind.

Only BF being either a paranormal entity or a Platonic template slash idea that occasionally materializes as a physical avatar might totally remedy the lack of detection. Albeit all the lost hairs, body fluids, etc would have to vanish along with their origin body when the latter incarnation from the purely intellectual stratum ended its temporary visit to the spatiotemporal manner of existence.

"What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence."

Arguments from incredulity can sometimes arise from inappropriate emotional involvement, the conflation of fantasy and reality, a lack of understanding, or an instinctive 'gut' reaction, especially where time is scarce. They are also frequently used to argue that something must be supernatural in origin. This form of reasoning is fallacious because one's inability to imagine how a statement can be true or false gives no information about whether the statement is true or false in reality. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_from_incredulity

Here, MR is making an argument from incredulity, asserting that BF may be supernatural, because he's incredulous that humans can be this delusional, cognitively biased, or prone to error.

Credible firsthand accounts abound of Bigfoot suddenly appearing and disappearing. Of mysterious yellowish light orbs. Of detection equipment/video cameras/trailcams always malfunctioning or getting their batteries drained. Of the abundant sources of Native American lore of Sasquatch being a sort of forest spirit with special powers. And as CC points out the ability of these beings to totally elude all attempts to capture them or turn up as dead bodies. So since science goes strictly by evidence and not by dogmatic disbeliefs, we are therefore justified in inferring a certain paranormal element to their nature. It's where the evidence leads us. We're not about supporting your religion of skepticism.

I just cited the evidence moron. Can't dismiss it? Oh fuck'n well.

You cited accounts, which can be delusional, cognitively biased, or prone to error.
