How can they misinterpret everything with even a hint of subtelty?
The first story was very clearly about man before we became farmers. Seen from the eyes of a animal. As despite us not being particularly strong or big our endurance allowed us to become apex predators by exhausting mega fauna to death. Yet they speculate about what age the story took place and wendigoon picks one of the mega fauna that didn't go extinct beacuse of early man. Wild Buffalo.
Is it something they do as a bit to appear more sympahetic or are are they retarded?
