Apology, check this out. Sweaty suffers from a pronounced case of Ballzheimer's. He often forgets things he has written in the past and screws himself up with contradictions, like when he said CC Bob had hand extensions inside the suit Phil made and got caught lying. Sweaty refused to give an answer about Patty's fingers bending. He said he already answered it. I don't think Sweaty has ever effectively ruled out contact with the leg causing the bending. I don't think Sweaty even remembers himself. If Sweaty had dealt with it effectively, he could answer the question right now instead of refusing to. He does that a lot. If you ask Sweaty now why the finger bending could not be from contact with the leg or a glove with joints, he can't answer because he doesn't know. The more you ask him, the more he will dance around it and refuse to answer. It's really quite funny to watch.
Okay, I do see where Sweaty is coming from, and what the difference is between "finger-bending" and "finger-straightening" from his quoted post, and it was very nice of him to provide a link.
Thank you, Sweaty, for providing a link. I do appreciate it, it was very civil of you.
That being said, I'd have to review the video of the blob-squatch YET AGAIN because as far as I can remember, its fingers were in the same half-curled position as the doll-hand. I also have to agree, Kitakaze, that if the fingers start out straight and appear to bend later, the bending could easily be caused by rubber fingers brushing against the leg of the suit.
I have to say, the most compelling argument that I've found against Bigfoot's existence is its apparent lack of impact on the ecosystem. No hair, no droppings, no corpses, no drop in the animal population, no raided crops, no Bigfoot getting run over by a semi---this is what makes me think that Bigfoot's existence is unlikely, not the PGF's veracity or lack thereof. I realize that your film is more about Bigfootery than actually proving or disproving Bigfoot's existence, but I hope you will find an expert to address this in your film, kitakaze.
Sweaty, I would like to ask you, why are you so passionate about Bigfoot? Did you see one? Do you run a Bigfoot Club or something? Why do you care so much?
If I were to read about proof that Bigfoot really existed, such as a body that's verified by experts to be a new genus of American Hominid never seen before, I would shrug and say, "Huh. Welp, guess I was wrong. Learn something new every day," and turn to the funny pages. I might be curious enough to ask how Bigfoot managed to live without impacting the ecosystem, which is my main reason for believing it doesn't exist. For instance, "How did it manage to be so large without leaving any excrement behind? Did it carry around a plastic bag and a scoop?" and questions like that. I certainly wouldn't be transfixed with horror that it turned out that I was wrong, yet I suspect that you would be paralyzed with joy if it turned out that Bigfoot did exist. Why? What difference would Bigfoot's existence make to you, other than proving a handful of anonymous internet people that they were wrong? I'm just curious.
