Oh my god, you aren't implying Doreen doesn't check her facts?

Think about what you are suggesting. Should an instance where a non-anomalous id is verified make people assume all other observations are also non-anomalous?

Oh! Stop being so reasonable!

Does this mean, for example, that if there is one sighting of, say, a mountain lion in Maine and it turns out to be some other animal all other sighting should be assumed to be mistaken or some other animal?

What if it remains unverified, and yet reports persist? Does that mean, sans carcass or clear photograph that solitary beasts don't stray into uncommon territory? Obviously..

How dumb does one have to be to be skeptical of official explanations?
Hm.
Like WOMD in Iraq. All those stupid skeptics.

Ah yes, the hallmark of the crank .... specious analogies.

God?? Is that you?
