he had nothing else; no other sightings, no pictures, no videos, no anything to help back him up. It was just him, him and his word. My conversation with him...I'd heard all about it through [Dr. J.] Van Remsen at LSU and probably was predisposed a little bit to trusting the guy because everybody said he was very trustworthy. But he came across as very low key, didn't seem to have any agenda, didn't seem to have any reason to be making a story up, so no reason to doubt what he said he saw.
No reason to doubt what he said he saw? Yeah, I guess, if you don't include the reason that the IBWO hadn't been demonstrated to be living anywhere in the US for 6 decades.
But we already know that Luneau lives in his own not-so-private upside-down fantasy world where "sightings" of Sasquatch and IBWOs must be taken seriously as long as Luneau "feels" like the detectors are "trustworthy" and "seem" to lack "an agenda."
Luneau said... That part right there probably bothered me more than anything: using the term "believers" for those of us who had done all the science and all the analysis. We did a lot of scientific analysis on the video, we had a lot of sightings, we put together a science paper, it was the cover story in the journal of Science, and yet we're called "believers." We consider ourselves very skeptical, and we were very skeptical from the beginning of the whole thing. We knew it required a certain level of proof and we feel like we provided that proof. The ones that [article author Mel White] called "skeptics," they're more the ones that should be classified on the belief scale, as "non-believers," because they really haven't offered any proof. What they're saying is that the video shows a normal pileated woodpecker [The pileated woodpecker is another large, black and white woodpecker with a red crest that is frequently confused with the ivorybill by amateurs.—ed] and yet with all the pileated woodpeckers out there they can't produce a video that shows all these characteristics that we see in the video that we say are not characteristic of pileated woodpeckers.
He has the balls to say that in Jan '07? This guy is out to lunch.
"Dr. David Luneau, a Georgia Tech graduate and Professor of Electronics and Computers at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock"
LOL. The delicious irony is that the TBs love to bash skeptics for their lack of "credentials."
But here we have the Great Luneau spouting all the classic TB drivel about his worthless video and how it supposedly can't possibly show a pileated woodpecker. "But he's not an ornithologist," I can hear the True Believer's crying already.
Not.
