There's a rich literary tradition of folks creating imaginary places in order to support their stories.
Please give one example of such story that is intended to be taken as a true story and not fiction?
The bible comes to mind.
Can anyone here provide the GPS coordinates to the biblical Eden?

Mordor's been written about. Do you believe it exists?
Yes, but I call it Brussels. Nowadays I think Minas Tirith is probably Washington and it is ruled by “Stewards of Gondor”, And Peking appears to be the Isengard. (It is also possible that I have made an error and Brussels is actually the Isengard and Peking is the Mordor.)
Nevertheless, made up cities are a thing.

Yeah, I have no doubt about that. My point was just to say that it is not very reasonable.
"Reasonable" is a subjective term.
You said such as it was a "stupid" idea to even consider trying to hunt something that one couldn't identify, all I had to do to be "reasonable" was to show it could be done, thereby invoking your own "stupid" against your argument.
I might be Teddy Roosevelt, but I ain't.
