That old plane chestnut again, straight out of the "Advocating Bigfoot for Dummies" handbook.
It has nothing to do with my sightings/observations of Bigfoot.Chris is really on his A-game tonight. In addition to the wet tissue-clad logic he displayed, there's this:
"Now this particular search utilized the combined resources of the US Government and even included SR-71 flyovers. Nothing found.
Chris B."
Do you see it? Not only does Chris skewer us skeptics with that post, but he gets to demonstrate that because HE has seen bigfoots on multiple occasions he outperforms the "combined resources of the US Government" including "SR-71 flyovers". Dang, he's GOOD!
"On October 16, 1972, United States House of Representatives Majority Leader Thomas Hale Boggs and United States Representative Nicholas J. Begich boarded an airplane in Anchorage en route to Juneau," read a few short paragraphs alongside photos of the congressmen. "The aircraft disappeared amidst turbulent conditions, and no trace of the men or the airplane was found." (The Washington Post)
Now if there was a record of finding every missing person and every downed plane with our technology, the argument would be closer to being valid.
Missing planes don't wander the woods by the thousands, interacting with people.
If they did, they wouldn't be missing.
You cannot be serious with these arguments, Chris.

I was merely pointing out that with our current technology, we still don't find large things like planes on every occasion when one goes missing. We can't seem to locate missing people, even though we're certain those people existed before going into the woods and logically, they "wanted" to be found. So is it possible that the argument claiming we should have found Bigfoot by now with our technology is flawed? Logically, I think it is.
Now if there was a record of finding every missing person and every downed plane with our technology, the argument would be closer to being valid. But, planes are still missing and people still continue to disappear. So it's no surprise a thinking/reasoning creature that lives elusively can evade our technology. Chris B.

Heh.So much silly in the missing airplane canard. Here's one I don't think has been mentioned. The point of the analogy is that there are places so wild and rugged that big things can be forever lost there. In the vast mountain ranges of Alaska and the PNW, those places exist.
How many planes have been irretrievably lost in semi-rural Kentucky?
Chris, your missing plane = bigfoot would appear to be asking us to produce a specific bigfoot in a general location.
It's the equivalent of me telling you I carved my initials on a specific tree somewhere in British Columbia. Using whatever technology you wish, go find that tree.

Not at all. And it's not limited to planes. Why can't we find missing people? Obviously our technology is limited as per the results. If our technology COULD find every missing person, I would agree it WOULD find Bigfoot as well. Until we reach the 100% recovery rate of those missing things we're looking for that we know to exist, it's a flawed argument. Chris B.
Plenty of missing persons are found. Bigfoot? Never.
