mete and DNS, I don't think the problem is with people believing you, I think it's simply a matter of "what if?"
As in, if I assume the bear will really try to complete the charge, and I am ready to deal with that prospect, I am probably better off than if I assume (because statistics so indicate) that he is probably bluffing, and he turns out to be in earnest.
It is arguably more dangerous to assume a bluff.
