Or because there are no little green men.
In reality, they are yellow, but our sky (blue) makes them appear green.
Ergo, yellow men are real.
Simple science.
Although that was clearly a mocking response, there is a point to be made here: Your argument seems to be closest to "Reductio ad absurdum", a subset, or sometimes element of which is Rhetorical Exaggeration: "In everyday argument, it involves taking an opponent's premise and exaggerating its implications to show how silly or untenable they are, demonstrating the original point is also flawed."

Of course the point is, it never demonstrates anything, only pretends to. An ironical aside to von Däniken, if I might name drop, I was asked to be a counter point to "alien theories" in an episode of the TV show Ancient Aliens in which they were planning to do a Voynich segment. I was to argue that it was NOT made by aliens, if that wasn't clear. Unfortunately I didn't make it to that show... I really wanted to meet the man. If someone here took my place, I'll be mad at you. When I was a child, I read his book "Chariots of the Gods" and thought it possible. But then I grew up.
Here is a list of fallacious arguments, BTW... I think virtually every one of them has been used, so far, in attempted defense of the 1420 Genuine European Cipher Paradigm: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.
Quote:About the armadillo.
Can you even tell the difference between hair and a brain?
Yes.
Quote:What do you think it looks like when you take out the brain and lay it on the table after the corpse has been rotting for a few days? That's why it was only done in winter.
And since it is also the seat of the soul, the cushion and the cloud bands.
There is no such thing as a sacred armadillo.
Yes, but Aga, before refrigeration people also died in hot weather, and for that matter, in hot places on Earth, so I'm not sure that the proper handling of brains was "... only done in winter" ("Excuse me dad, you can't die NOW! Please wait until winter, when we can chuck your brain in the snow!"- my own stab at an Reductio ad absurdum... which actually isn't, because it makes sense, if you think about it).
But real the problem with your question, after your "Reductio ad absurdum" alien argument, is that I am not sure if you are being serious or not. Then I am caught between a rock and a hard place, because if you ARE serious, I don't want to diminish your ideas; and if you are still mocking me, I don't want to play the fool.
But I'll take a chance and assume you are being serious, and are making the point that a brain might be considered sacred... by somebody?... and illustrated on the nebuly cushion for that reason? Well I don't know, but good luck with that. Maybe you are right. But I personally don't think it is a brain... because it has and eye, ears, tail, and legs.
So we have armadillo, pangolin, sheep, lamb, dragon, catabolas (sp?), that "topcan" thing... forget what it is called... and now your "brain" as candidates. I still favor, by a wide margin, armadillo. Whether or not you were serious.
