Definition: Confirmation bias is the tendency to search for, interpret, favor, and recall information in a way that confirms or supports one's prior beliefs or values.
A large and growing number of people coming into the Bigfoot community have confirmation bias when examining "evidence" that they throw out to the community and most of the time, they get butthurt when others are skeptical of the evidence being presented. This is not to say that it's only an issue with newer folks, but also associated with even some of the old timer researchers who have been researching for years and those who have been researching shorter times.
