I herd that bigfoot uses sticks and bangs them against trees as a form of comunication.

Ok, but where’s the stick?

Also, from Wikipedia: “Anthropologists most commonly use the term “culture” to refer to the universal human capacity to classify, codify and communicate their experiences symbolically.”

So I’ve missed the stick and I’m stumped as to how one infers culture from the film.

I think it’s all schtick with far less culture than a petri dish. I’m just sayin’…

To be more clear- when I said: “but what he (MK Davis) has posted in the past has spoke volumes.” I was referring to the various enhancements and animations from the PG film that have been posted online by MK. Those – in my opinion- have not been given the attention they deserve (maybe until now!)

I am not going there on what he is verbally saying now- as others have said he may be better off releasing the visuals and let others do the analysis.

My dog carries a stick. As yet she has not enrolled in college.

Some people have talked about how we should not try to discredit his findings but what about other scientists who have analyzed the film? Are we to discredit what they have found based on as yet unreleased evidence? There seems to be a kind of double standard here that we should listen to what MK Davis is saying (all of which is unsupported so far) and forget about what has been found up to now about the footage. Are we to forget what some have said about the biomechanics, movements, and musculature of the creature in favor of this new theory? If so, it had better be some spectacular stuff that we can look forward to seeing.

Sea otter uses rocks to break open clam shells, ravens use small pebbles to break open snails, I use rocks and pebbles on occasion to bust stuff up, therefore I am either a sea otter or a raven. Right?

We have met the enemy and he is us.

Here's a quick review of M. K. Davis' remarks to try to understand the essence of what he's saying (click on link below): What's Being Said?

I’m glad this discussion is getting somewhat back to the history of the film and what versions most of us have been looking at. It is my understanding that what is shown on TV is usually a 3rd or 4th generation video dub. What gets me is that one of the most controversial films next to Zapruder has only been digitally enhanced and stabilized by an enthusiast with his home pc – source material recorded off of cable TV no less! If a direct digital transfer from the second generation patterson film dub were to be digitized directly at a resolution higher than video we may even see more details. Video post production facilities have workstations that do video stabilization and enhancements- let them at it. Until then it’s MK. Maybe he has shot his mouth off or is being manipulated by a promoter but what he has posted in the past has spoke volumes.

This “teaser” type of release of information does not reflect the behavior of a respectable researcher, however, a snake oil salesman wouldn’t think twice about using such tactics.

“But he would not release more information because of Pat Holdbrook’s forthcoming film.”

That is incorrect. He has not released his supportive evidence as of yet due to obtaining copyrights and protecting his work legally before releasing it to the public. It has nothing to do with any forthcoming film. There are also works in progress to release all of the information the correct way to the public. These things take time. There is a lot of information to get out there, and he, along with others are working as quickly as they can to do so. He obviously knows he needs to answer to the public for the brief claims he has made, he’s just trying to go about it in the right manner so as not to rush through it. Some would say he should have had all this prepared prior to making his internet “press release” but even that had a reason behind it which is not my place to speak about.
As for the comment about carrying a stick. Once again it is obviously more elaborate than just a stick being carried. This too will eventually be revealed with the other evidence. He would not make such claims if it had just been carrying a stick. We all know apes have the ability to carry sticks. One would think that if M.K. Davis was held in such regard that people wouldn’t jump the gun so to speak and try to discredit his findings without first at least seeing what the man is offering. I understand the apprehension due to such fiascos as the Malaysia incident, but I still think some patience should be allowed in this instance given the history of the man’s work and previous findings.
