Quotes by Daniel Loxton  (?)

“The practice of making claims that appear to be scientific, but do not actually follow the scientific method of testability and falsification of hypotheses, is usually called pseudoscience.”
Daniel Loxton, Abominable Science!: Origins of the Yeti, Nessie, and Other Famous Cryptids

“At the heart of the mystery of Bigfoot is a paradox: many people see Sasquatches, but no one can find one. This is an extremely uncomfortable dilemma for Bigfoot advocates. Either Sasquatches are too rare to locate, in which case they should also be too rare to see; or the common and widespread sighting reports are by and large accurate, in which case science should long ago have located a specimen.”
Daniel Loxton, Abominable Science!: Origins of the Yeti, Nessie, and Other Famous Cryptids

“Anecdotes do not make a science. Ten anecdotes are no better than one, and a hundred anecdotes are no better than ten.”
Daniel Loxton, Abominable Science!: Origins of the Yeti, Nessie, and Other Famous Cryptids
