Yeah, that an advanced intelligent entity, like me, is averse to having their photo taken by any old yokel who will post it online for clout.

That’s the correct interpretation, yes?

No the interpretation is that the more we could prove it if real, the less we do

Sailors saw mermaids all the time too, I don't think they're all hiding under a rock since we invented the camera

  • sailors also reported seeing kraken as well, they were eventually proven right with the giant squid.

    • Exactly, that's the point : if it's true/right, we are now able to prove it with evidence. If it's not, suddently we don't see it anymore.

    • They reported seeing a lot of other things as well. Rationalizing that as "they were right about big squids existing" is a bit of a stretch.
