206. But we *know* Smurfs are fictional!
Why would we have to look, *anywhere*?
We know with absolute certainity that Smurfs are fictional characters created for a cartoon.

I'm not getting why searching the universe is necessary.
And let's say that on Omicron Persei VI there exist some alien creature that *exactly* resembles Smurfs in every conceivable way.
They couldn't possibly *be* Smurfs because Smurfs are fictional blue elves that speak English substituting the words smurf to humorous effect.

That would be like saying I can't prove that Santa Claus doesn't exist... or the Easter Bunny...

Wouldn't it?
Please, someone explain why I'm wrong.
