I had people lie or exaggerate about inconsequential things, act in less than an ethical fashion, yet these same people assured me that they had seen the evidence but not everyone was trustworthy enough to see it.....draw your own conclusions with that one.
That's interesting - I had a similar experience with a Yowie-huckster recently here in Oz. He came across as an intelligent and likeable bloke, has a respectable job, and claimed that one of his friend's had an actual (but secret) photograph of a Yowie. However, this friend has a long and well-documented history of hoaxing (and not only restricted to Yowies) but when I questioned him on it he simply could not bring himself to acknowledge any shenanigans whatsoever...
How can people claim to see Bigfoot in the forest when they cannot even acknowledge the elephant in the room? I suspect that displaying a willingness to turn a blind-eye to shenanigans is a sign of "trustworthiness" in Bigfoot-circles. It's research with a wink and a nod...
