Evidence, my friend, evidence. Where is the hard evidence of these ETs?
I'm afraid that "sightings" isn't good enough. Heck, there isn't even evidence for humans being involved in these cases, much less extraterrestrials.
I know what I think the answer is, but that's got nothing to do with the facts. This will remain a mystery until someone can show irrefutable proof of who is responsible.
1. Of course, you are welcome to set whatever criteria for evidence you wish.
2. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE tell me, however, that YOU AT LEAST KNOW the FACT that WHEN anyone sets a criteria for proof that something is there too high, they change the possibility of a
TYPE II ERROR
into a probability. And, much higher than that and they change the probability into a virtual CERTAINTY.
My experience on these threads convinced me that the naysayers are into the virtual CERTAINTY category.
They seem to be oblivious that a TYPE II error is potentially just as deadly as a TYPE I error.
3. Many murderer has been convicted and executed on less evidence than exists in the thousands of expert testimony in such cases. It is SHEER FOOLISHNESS to consider such expert testimony as useless, worthless, meaningless, inconsequential, ‘proving nothing.’
