I don't know. Do I need reasons to be sure of anything? I'm also sure there are pixies who visit me in the middle of the night and glue a little bit more on to the end of each hair, but I've never caught them at it.

And I think the reason there aren't tribes feasting on tiger flesh on a regular basis is two-fold: 1) Tigers are rare 2) Tigers are a lot harder to kill and a lot more dangerous than say, water buffalo. I wouldn't want to tackle a tiger armed only with a spear. Would you? Even if you had a dozen friends with you who might get eaten first?
