    “There are no unicorns, that’s the simple truth.”

    Is this also over confidence?

    There are a lot of children who believe in unicorns.

    A lot of pictures too. The pictures are more consistent than that of the gods.

      As I understand it, a statement like that is unscientific. You can say that the likelihood of unicorns existing is extremely small, trace possible mythological origins to show the stories are fabricated, but you can’t categorically prove that something doesn’t exist.
