ENTHUSIASM HAS NO PLACE IN SCIENCE


Headlines are supposed to be attention grabbing, I understand this.  But when a headline exclaims that scientists have found evidence that leads them to be 95% sure a big foot exists, you better have a fucking big foot to show me because you just created some big shoes to fill.

But no.  Of course there's no big foot.  Here's the article that I found after said headline:

"Scientists and yeti enthusiasts believe there may finally be irrefutable evidence that the ape-like creatures roam the vast Siberian tundra, reports the Guardian."


Just to stop you here for a minute, yeah they did say "scientists and yeti enthusiasts."  That is your fucking source on the "Do Yeti's exist?" debate.  A Yeti Enthusiast.  What's he gonna sit there with his Chewbacca mask on and be like, "Eh, yeah ya know despite being a confirmed yeti enthusiast I just don't really think they exist. Oh and I'd also like to add  "

OF COURSE A YETI ENTHUSIAST IS GONNA THINK THEY EXIST.  but here's the rest of the article about from the Yeti convection:


"A team of over a dozen experts. from as far afield as Canada and Sweden, have proclaimed themselves 95% certain of the mythical animal's existence after gathering for a day-long conference in the town of Tashtago in the Kemerovo region, some 2,000 miles east of Moscow. 


In recent years locals there have reported sightings of yetis, also known as the abominable snowman.  The Kemerovo government announced on Oct. 10 that a two-day expedition the previous weekend to the region's Azassky cave and Karatag peak "collected irrefutable evidence" of yetis' existence on the wintry plateau. "


Conference participants came to the conclusion that the artifacts found give 95% evidence of the habitation of the 'snow man' on Kemerovo region territory," read a statement. "In one of the detected tracks, Russian scientist Anatoly Fokin noted several hairs that might belong to the yeti," it added. 


The group also discovered footprints, a presumed bed and various other markers. The scientific community has historically disputed the existence of the yeti given scant conclusive evidence. But numerous sightings of such creatures have been reported in Himalayan countries and in North America, where it is know as sasquatch or Bigfoot." 


Yeah, so that's how my days going.  Talk about a let down...friggin Enthusiasts.  This Yeti Realist is gonna go watch Harry and the Henderson and keep on hoping.
