From that same thread, following Coin's clear and concise listing of the sad facts:
I don't know Geoff Hill or Tyler Hicks but their eye witness accounts of ivorybill sightings are what gives me reason to believe the bird still is extant.
Just how dumb can people be? The answer appears in italics, above. Some people will never "get it" because, quite simply, they lack the necessary intelligence to grasp the issues. The intellectual descendants of this person will be those who, three centuries from now and in the absence of any credible documentation of a living IBWO, will still be "arguing" that "you can't prove it's extinct."
IB, one thing you have to understand is that many (most?) of the people who are convinced by the sight records have next to no experience in just how faulty they can be. Ask a question like "how could 20 people be wrong about their IBWO sighting?" of a group of birders highly experienced in evaluating sightings, and they'll say "easily". Ask it of a group of neophytes, and they'll say "it's impossible".
The people who believe sighting after sighting are inexperienced and don't understand the fallibility of eyewitness accounts, particular ones that last mere seconds and can't be confirmed by anybody.
PRONOIA...the idea that everyone is out to do good to you. It is happening to you!
"The people who believe sighting after sighting are inexperienced and don't understand the fallibility of eyewitness accounts, particular ones that last mere seconds and can't be confirmed by anybody"
What about perennial WSB winners Fitzcrow and Rosencrow? What is their excuse for basing a multimillion dollar research program on glimpses by stringers? Surely not inexperience!
