I will simply mention the fact that the evidence for the extinction
of large mammals by the Indians is quite convincing.  Ted is, of
course, free to believe it or not as he wishes.

Which reminds me: Another of the criteria by which science can
be distinguished from pseudoscience is the fact that pseudoscientists
only care to consider evidence that supports their cause, and
systematically ignore the evidence on the other side.
