All respect to your rather unimaginative sensibilities, Sir, but my experience is that officious sneering is all too often directly proportionate to how incorrect one has been. Stanton Friedman (and debate _him_ sometime, eh?) even wrote a book illustrating that very point.
One might remember that we are pretty light in the drawers as a sentient species in the first place; Moreover, we frequently get things wrong in the second and a fractal understanding of the _fact_ of _our_ existence may demonstrate or bespeak that that we are in a chain of self-aware intelligences in this universe with--and here I tread lightly--some of the links of those chains being _decidedly_ weaker than adjacent others. I would offer perhaps ourselves as a weaker link in that chain. Anything else lacks an appropriate and essential humility. See, like myself? You may be wrong.
