I am so sick and tired of these so-called "Experts" opining about what the LN creature is or is not. It could be that it has nothing to do with Plesiosauria or giant modified / evolved salamander, eel, long-necked seal or sea turtle for that matter. But just to play the Devils Advocate maybe it is some form of Plesiosaur, after all there were, according to the experts (paleontologists), a suborder, genus etc. of these extinct animals. Also it could be that a representative of what’s in the Loch is not even in the fossil record because how many times have there been instances of a new species or suborder of dinosaur bones discovered and unearthed. Maybe what we're dealing with is some large unknown animal that has the morphology or look of a Plesiosaur, i.e. convergent evolution. So, just as a fish looks like a fish or a bird like a bird, an unknown animal looks like a Plesiosaur. The only thing that’s certain is that there is some unexplained life form in those murky waters that even Mother Nature has conspired to hide. The only solution to the mystery would be the capture, study and documentation of one of these animals followed by a timely release back to the Loch, or a carcass dumped at the feet of science. Having said that I don't advocate the harming or slaying of any of these creatures. I use the term creature in the plural for surely there has to be a breeding or self-propagating colony for sightings to continue to this day and ages before in less documented reports. I also put a lot of credence on eyewitness reports because first hand accounts by credible, honest people count for a lot more than some fuzzy, blurred, indistinct, doubtful photo subject to interpretation or hoaxing. I've heard it said that no more evidence than word of mouth testimony has convicted and hung more than one person in a court of law. Or maybe an indisputable, incontrovertible, high definition clear photo, preferably when the creature decides to take a stroll on land in broad daylight. As farfetched and unlikely as any one of those scenarios sound one can only hope. But alas as you yourself have said, in the first scenario the skeptics would declare "How can we be sure it's from Loch Ness!" and the naysayers would say of the latter scenario "Oh its fake, a Photoshop product". You can't win for losing. Maybe one day within yours and my life time the truth will be known before these wonders of nature truly become extinct.
