[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Unless you have incontrovertible evidence to the contrary, you really have no idea what’s bogus and what isn’t.

That is the dreamer way of looking at things.

The realistic way is to ask if there is any actual proof. When there is not it can be dismissed as bogus.

For example you could be a typing dog. But lacking any actual proof that is bogus.

You take evidence and build to a conclusion not the other way around.

The key is deciding what counts as “evidence”.

Folks who say “nothing there” tend to discount evidence that does not meet their criteria on what is allowed and not allowed as “evidence”.
