Bigfoot Lunch Club: ISU Professors Argue About Sasquatch Funding, Critical Professor Invokes the "Easter Bunny Argument"

As blogger Guy Edwards notes, it is very odd Dr. Jeff Meldrum is not mentioned in this academic squabble:Bigfoot Lunch Club: ISU Professors Argue About Sasquatch Funding, Critical Professor Invokes the "Easter Bunny Argument" by Martin Hackworth. (Note Forteam name-game language of last name.)It is truly amazing how the majority of the scientific culture continues to frame Bigfoot as, well, in Hackworth's own words, "silly."

In a truly astounding loop of "logic" Hackworth explains why researching Bigfoot is silly and unscientific:

I also stated (no insinuation) rather plainly that the scientific pursuit of Bigfoot, sans any compelling evidence, is foolish. Perhaps the insulation, to which he refers, rests in the notion that if I think that the scientific aspirations of Bigfoot, et. al., are scientifically dubious, I also think that those who hold these notions, by extension, could be dubious as scientists.
