It's also a good example of why researching is so important, if someone is actually interested in getting to the truth/fact(s)...versus just going with some "gut-feeling."

Because no matter their opinion (which was based on their limited/incomplete knowledge), the fact that it was an elephant...doesn't change.
The fact - is that it was an elephant. No matter what anyone said ABOUT the elephant - that one fact was unchangeable.
