A superficial wave of the hand dismissal just makes a person look like an asshole. If you're going to bother to speak about a subject, at least do the rudimentary scholarship on the issue in order to avoid the sophomoric errors that debunk your debunking.Steven Streuferthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07852437322070677310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8996974684243527907.post-86522131126438139052015-09-27T23:51:32.017-07:002015-09-27T23:51:32.017-07:00As a general skeptic myself, that article from Ske...As a general skeptic myself, that article from Skeptoid is an embarrassment to anyone familiar with the detailed events.

Indeed, in Lengend Meets Science, they tried to duplicate the walk, frame by frame, with a very able college athlete.. Could not make it happen. Even without any suit, I have yet to see ANYONE duplicate the P/G creature gait for a similar distance.. Not even with excellent footing. <br /><br />Then there is the unavoidable issue of the elbow joints. No good way to fake that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8996974684243527907.post-10268871616469459322014-04-06T17:45:16.734-07:002014-04-06T17:45:16.734-07:00So if Patterson paid all his bils on time,gimlin d...So if Patterson paid all his bils on time,gimlin didn't use B.H.'s horse, the camera was returned in time,Patterson wasnt connected to hollywood, patterson had a full time job and never missed a day of work in his life,etc,etc,etc ...if Patterson was the citizen of the year 20 years running...how would any of it change the perception of the image of Patty being any more or less believable ..? dfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04555164706697834121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8996974684243527907.post-29736972255231673902014-01-03T06:25:30.926-08:002014-01-03T06:25:30.926-08:00bottom line ,all these side stories are irrelevant...bottom line ,all these side stories are irrelevant. ..what matters is only this..is it or isn't a man in costume. ...it appears that the truly responsible studies have shown that its not person in a suit. ..and as time has progressed skeptics are cleanging to these side stories ...seems like thats all they have left.dfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04555164706697834121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8996974684243527907.post-87070749725656467732014-01-03T06:23:37.766-08:002014-01-03T06:23:37.766-08:00bottom line ,all these side stories are irrelevant...bottom line ,all these side stories are irrelevant. ..what matters is only this..is it or isn't a man in costume. ...it appears that the truly responsible studies have shown that its not person in a suit. ..and as time has progressed skeptics are cleanging to these side stories ...seems like thats all they have left.dfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04555164706697834121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8996974684243527907.post-49747397552248582222013-10-16T13:08:27.027-07:002013-10-16T13:08:27.027-07:00"(Conflation FALLACY... the story about the f..."(Conflation FALLACY... the story about the football gear comes SOLELY from Heironimus)"<br /><br />No--Morris also supports it. (Although it's absurd--why would a highschool-team football player need to be told that shoulder pads would bulk out the costume?) See page 448 of Greg Long's book, The Making of Bigfoot. Incidentally, Morris was nonplussed when Long told him that Heironimus said that a football helmet was worn. See page 458.<br /><br />"rodeo was a part-time affair at best,"<br /><br />Patterson stopped rodeo-ing in 1958 at the insistence of his wife, who thought it was too dangerous.
