> [@Munch](#): > > No - you didn’t “address” pit misidentification. You expressed serious doubt that it existed, which is why I posted the link to 20 such instances, and which is why most of this thread has degenerated into a “not only are pits not human aggressive, but there’s an extremely good chance that any media report of a pit-human attack was misidentification - see this quick ‘identify the pit’ internet test” tangent. I can see how it could be read that way. I do not doubt misidentification exists on some level. I doubt that it exists in the extreme that some claim, but this is only a doubt - the sort of healthy skepticism most here posess when faced with oft repeated rarely substantiated claims. Maybe the misdeintifcation is worse. Maybe there are people report a King Charles Spaniel (snappy little fucks) bite as a pit attack. At the same time, I would think pit lineage might not be the predominant lineage yet still predispose a dog toward such aggression. This does not require a “one drop” test, as someone earlier tried to force on me. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-met-a-pit-bull-terrier-today/518225)._
