But is it worth all of that effort to try and keep a story on track, just to write a Bigfoot book? I see your point, but that all seems to be a lot of trouble to go through, for something that probably won't make a lot of money, unless the story is proven to be true.
One thing I find different about this Bigfoot scenario, is that they're not trying convince anyone of anything. I think the course that this alleged encounter is taking, is being steered by rampant speculation, fueled by frustration. That's quite understandable, IMO, especially with all of the "soon" and "be patient" statements that have been bandied around over the past months.
Like most, I'm just a bystander, watching this whole drama slowly unfold, and like most, I've got no skin in the game. When it's all said and done, I won't be anyone's fool and I might just learn a little more about human nature.
