Or some of the mentions of same in the earlier American literature could
conceivably refer to the true species. Just because it wasn't here in 1920 does
not mean it never had been.
My point is simple: We need to remember what we really know and what we
actually don't know. I f we cannot document something definitively either way,
then the question MUST remain a question, else we start thinking we know things
we don't, building ideas on shaky sands, and that sort of thinking tends to
concatenate into folly.
