Many scientist types believe that if you canโt locate something with a scientific study (etc.), that it doesnโt exist.
Given the reproducibility of much of science โ that is to say, low โ even if you can locate something statistically, thereโs still a very high chance it doesnโt exist.
I am no enemy of science. Quite the opposite.
Despite much of my writing here, I think as I age Iโve come to appreciate nuance and doubt more, thatโs all.
