@bethorien If you're asking why parisqeen says "don't count this as Gospel," as opposed to "don't count this as gossip," then I don't believe that was an accident.
Saying something "is gospel" basically is an idiom you're saying you believe it is the absolute truth, with no room for debate. Written in stone. Its the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. When they said "Don't take this a gospel," they are just saying it's something they've heard, but whether it's accurate or not is still debatable.

*hopefully)
Also, considering a lot of countries are still very much NOT interested in conservation, and there's a lot of sharks endangered because of it. Not to mention ones that are losing their food sources due to overfishing and pollution. Which, actually, could also lead to more aggression. Much like cougars, if you leave them no alternative, sharks do what it takes to survive. And that's usually hen they're at their most dangerous.
I think at the end of the day, we're both agreeing that sharks aren't mindless killing machines set on attacking humans, and that they should be treated with the respect of a predator. Preferably from a safe distance. It sounded from your initial comment like you might be saying a hungry shark will always attack and try to kill human, and that's more or less the only thing I was really meaning to address. They're truly amazing animals, and they get such a bad rap. I enjoyed hearing everyone's points on the matter :)
