Reasons the Jennifer Appel and Tasha Fuiava survival story smells fishy
My biggest question is why do people get worked up over this?  They are clearly dumb, and I don&#x27;t see what sort of personal gain they would get from this.  It&#x27;s not a story of heroism, it&#x27;s a story of being relatively dumb and surviving by luck.  There&#x27;s not much here to celebrate, so whether or not they are lying, there&#x27;s not much worse they could look.  But the number of people who are getting worked up and feel like they should &quot;expose&quot; these people are much higher than I would have imagined.<p>The other thing is, every single one of the &quot;problems&quot; the post brings up could be easily explained by &quot;They are idiots.&quot;  There&#x27;s no mystery that they already seem dumb, why is it such a mystery to the blogger that they were able to survive by simply being lucky and prepared?  Their explanations are off because they&#x27;re dumb and they don&#x27;t know what they&#x27;re talking about, but in that context, all their explanations make sense.
