I am on a list for great white shark enthusiasts, and they think is book is 
essentially non-fiction...that, within the deepest recesses of the worlds 
oceans, there live megalodon sharks.  You try to explain to these people the 
science behind why this just isn't probable, let alone almost certainly 
impossible, and they simply will not believe it.  They've just seen one too 
many episodes of "Surface"!!
