While Fords are clearly Telepathic it's irrational to assume they also have pixies without evidence.
You can't say that. Fords are partially unknowable. Have you ever tried to set the clock on a 2004 Ford C-Max even using the manual? They are unknowable because they are supernatural cars. Pixies are also supernatural, which also means unknowable. It is irrational to demand evidence for something that is unknowable. We just need to assume a-priori that they exist and then fill in the gaps however we can.
But if we do find even the slightest bit of evidence you can bet we'll be telling absolutely everyone about it.
In the meantime, personal anecdote will have to be passed off as evidence and we'll need to use logic to prove the existence of pixies even if we have no reason to assume that they do.
1. It is unknowable that we know everything that there is to know about anything that is known to exist.
2. Pixies are unknowable.
3. Therefore pixies exist.
