The real point is that there are people that study these things in detail. There are people that seek out the remains of almost anything. Yet, despite this, no remains of any sort of "big foot" exist. Mind you, these remains wouldn't be in some deserted amazon rain forest or deep woods locations. These are in relatively populated areas where people hunt, camp, and trek all the time. Yet in a 100 years, no remains have ever been found.

Occam's razor.
