Peddle Pushers!

There are facts in this world. So far Bigfoot isn't one of them. With that being said it seems strange that there are facts of their likeness surrounding them. They may not exist, but there is clear cut documentation of their habits. Ranging from habitat to diet. In some cases it's presumed. In others it's a given. There are people who've risen to the top of this rickety, old ladder and seated themselves firmly on a throne of unattainable knowledge. 

Recently I read an article listing the bigfooter's commandments, if you will. In it I realized you are only to state certainties when you have convincing evidence to support the fact and can identify the evidence while spewing facts. Also listed was a rule encouraging bigfooters to refrain from using terms like "possible" and "probable".

 Why? These two rules of research seem ass backward to me. I don't feel there has ever been an instance where stating fact was possible or probable. I do, however, find I would have been far more accepting if claims were stated as possible or probable. 

It seems to me that these rules are permitting heavy pushing as long as you're a smooth talker. You are allowed to sell Bigfoot but you must be super confident in your approach. You must not reduce yourself to doubt or allow your claim to be up for discussion. It's been stated with certainty, therefore, it is.
