so were stuck with an incredible, miracle suit, or a miracle group of relict animals
No we are stuck with a suit that BF proponents claim is a miracle suit and others suggest is not a miracle suit. There have been some special effects artists who are on record as stating it looks and acts like a suit. Obviously, if it were a miracle suit they would not be so convinced.
What we actually are "stuck with" are:
1) A film of a guy in a suit. The suit may be good enough to prevent serious flaws from being exposed or the resolution of the film prevents obvious flaws from being seen. The film is not exactly the best for resolving the issue. It's time duration is brief, there is evidence of editing (or at least that is the impression I got from this forum), the original is not available, the camera is unstable in many sections, etc. etc. It is hard to draw a conclusion that it is a miracle suit based on these factors.
2) It is a film of a real live bigfoot. This is a creature, which has never been found or filmed with such clarity for the forty years that have elapsed since this film was made.
Again, #1 continues to be the most likely scenario UNTIL you can provide good evidence that supports #2. Of course this thread is about BH and Patty/Aunt Bunny. We have gotten beyond this.
IMO, Bob may or may not be the guy in the suit. However, he has come forward with that claim. I see no reason to reject that possibility to date. Your previous posting comparing his and Morris's recollections is a non-starter because if you admit that one of the accounts is factual to disprove the other, you are admitting that there is a suit.
