Copi's statement here is taken out-of-context. He said that such only applies to well-defined and delimited contexts, such as with a claim like, "There is no sock under the couch." As a general principle, Copi stands with "absence of evidence is not evidence of absence." See Copi's <Introduction to Logic>.

Given that no purported sightings of Sasquatch and friends have ever referenced a diminutive, lithe figure and that they are regularly observed to be 6'-10' and in excess of 500lbs there would be, AT THE VERY LEAST, some evidence left as a trail in what you assert to be 'damp forests'.

So that should cover well-defined and delimited contexts, unless they have some physics-defying special power.

Since I have done a great deal of research regarding sasquatch in reputable scientific arenas, let me offer some bigfoot science,

Dafuq?!?!??!? Big Foot science? Oxymoron much?

since this is a real science thread.

Be honest: Your study of Big Foot was an excuse to wring dry some poor saps grant to your seat of learning, wasn't it?

I think im gonna offer signed prints of my BigFoot artwork.

$25 for the first 50
$10 thereafter

I think people dress up like big foot to smuggle home grown out of the forest.

How is it 'Home Grown' if they're in the forest?

Redskin Rat:
There actually are several people at research universities who study sasquatch. Hence there is a "bigfoot science," whether you are aware of this or not. Your being dismissive does not change reality.

My research into sasquatch occurred as part of a project on a different topic, for which an element including sasquatch research was a helpful sidebar. Neither I nor my school received a dime of grant money for this research, which was published in a good academic journal.

If you want to opine that sasquatch doesn't exist, fine, join the very large club of people who agree with you. But I was talking about a scientific attitude toward sasquatch.

And I would counter that just because something is studied in University does not make it science.

Define 'good'.

Again, I would direct your attention to Bertrand's celestial samovar....

Redskinsrat, using the scientific process to guide your judgement, what order would you assign to the following with regards to their likelihood of existence:

Bigfoot
Jesus Christ
Intelligent alien life visiting Earth within the last 2,013 years

How is it 'Home Grown' if they're in the forest?

It doesnt sound like youve ever had bigfoot blaze. Loosen up brah

And I would counter that just because something is studied in University does not make it science.

Worse than ignorance is willful ignorance.

There's no point in talking to someone whose mind is so closed.

Exposure to pesticides in food, air and water increases risk of type 2 diabetes, says new study | National Monitor (http://natmonitor.com/2013/02/05/exposure-to-pesticides-in-food-air-and-water-increases-risk-of-type-2-diabetes-says-new-study/)

Researchers discovered that people with higher concentrations of DDE – the main metabolite in the pesticide DDT – are four times more likely to develop type 2 diabetes than other people. The risk of type 2 diabetes is also linked to exposure to β-HCH (beta-Hexachlorocyclohexane), which is found in the formula of the pesticide Lindano.
