I'd have said he was just mistaken until he challenged people to call him a liar. Challenge accepted: he's a liar.
Yeah it's one thing to say "idk what I saw but maybe it was something". It's quite another to say that what he's saying is the truth and if you don't believe him then you're calling him a liar. Sounds like something a liar would say.
He is saying, βidk what I saw but maybe it was something,β though. He's telling of his experience, he doesn't say "yes, they most definitely exist", but "I've experienced something that was nothing like I'd ever experienced and I know of no animal that could fit the experience I had." Him being a very experienced bushman brings quite a bit of credibility to that statement.
He's not challenging people on whether Saskquatch exist or not, he's challenging whether you think the multitude of people who have had such experiences and are sharing them with others, like him, are all lying about what they've experienced, completely fabricating a story of something that just happens to have commonalities with stories from others across borders and generations.
