I have no idea what drives hiflier to believe the lack of scientific interest in bigfoot stems, not from the crappy evidence available, but somehow from the approach of amateurs to date.

Comments like that are not helping get to the bottom of the mystery. Another common footer retort.

Apparently acknowledging there is no mystery is not a viable option.
