It is. That doesn't mean we have to marginalize people who have theories, even if they don't have any evidence to back them up. My approach is to entertain all possibilities until they are proven to me to be false. In that way I attempt to avoid tunnel vision.

Care to buy some of my tiger repellent? It's been 100% effective so far!
How many tigers have you repelled? Which species? I'm particularly worried about bengal tigers in my apartment complex. Can it handle those?
I don't have "any evidence to back it up" but it "has not proven to be false." So because you're "avoiding tunnel vision" you should purchase some. Luckily, I'm willing to let it go for $999 a can.

Don't marginalize me, bro.

I was actually going to suggest $1099. Can I pay that instead?
