I intend no disrespect and am not "Hateing" on the Author. I make these comments because I feel strongly that anyone who presents themselves as an expert should be held to a Higher Standard than the average person who posts opinions.<br /> The Author, David, presents himself as the "Science Guy", therefore he needs to be RIGHT in his REMARKS presented as FACT.<br /> This is important because FACT have a way of getting around on the web not ony does this hurt the average Sasquatch believer, but the Sasquatch Research community as outside experts will automatically assume this to be the typical quality of Sasquatch Research obviously making more difficult for real researchers to be taken seriously.<br /> I will not provide an exhaustive accounting of what I feel are inaccuracies of fact in this article, but only some of those most obvious.<br /> First, runners do not extend above 90*. I must assume he meant flexion, two different things, they are not the same. Proof read and be accurate.<br /> "Burst of Power", what do you mean by this phase? If you are going to write an article like this then may be one should explain in detail the concept. Burst of power really has no meaning.<br /> Then He talks about momentum of fast moving legs. REALLY? Why not instead talk about the gait cycle that is at play here,<br /> that would be more interesting and informative.<br /> Next the Author asserts that runners and walkers lock their leg at some point. This is a very strange statement and not true. The Human does not lock the knee while doing either activity. I site the knee, as I assume that is what the author actually meant, when he said Leg.<br /> During both running and waling the knee remains very slightly flexed. Locking of the knee begins at about the last 5 degrees of extension. As extension continues, the femur rotates inward and medially this shifts the joint faces and ligaments into a locked position "LOCKED", at this point the knee is stable.<br /> I will not even go into the strange discussions of Hip/Knee ratios as he makes no sense.<br /> I do challenge the idea that Gorillas live a long life because they go on all Fours, REALLY? That's quite a statement, I say back it up. Where is the evidence?<br /> Then he says Sasquatch does not live long, and that he has back problems all due to weight and gravity. Guess they suffer a lot of "Herniated Disks". A small issue, Anyone educated in the Medical Science will know that DISK is spelled Disc. Further; even though presented as guesses, these ideas seem very poorly thought out.<br /> Sasquatch suffering and dieing early due to weight walking on two legs, he contradicts his self; when earlier he theorizes that due to leg ratios Sasquatch goes on all four quite well. Which one is it?<br /> This idea that because Sasquatch is heavy, his Disc Herniate, really does not hold up either. The best evidence in Humans is that we suffer Disc Disease mainly due to unhealthy life styles and unhealthy lifting and moving, greatly due to the very human activity called WORK. Humans do work, and use and miss-use our bodies in ways unheard of in other Mammals.<br /> To assume that Sasquatch would suffer the same maladies as Human, I would believe is over reaching.<br /> Then we have SAID, I do believe He has miss applied this concept.<br /> My last issue is this, How you present yourself as the "Science Guy". Then also present your Qualifications.<br /> I will present mine.<br /> My name is Thomas Bearden, Doctor of Chiropractic. I hold a Four Year Professional Degree. I have almost Eight Years of Higher Education and years of Clinical Experience. I am not an expert in Sasquatch and do not claim to be. Truly this does not make me a better person, but it does provide a Back Drop for my remarks.Thomas Beardennoreply@blogger.com
