  Cryptozoology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Furthermore, according to Heuvelmans, special attention should also be given to folklore regarding creatures.
Cryptozoologists point these out to demonstrate that there are many unexplored regions of the world left, and that remote exotic locations or specialized ecosystems relatively untouched by man may contain unexpected life.
Unlike mainstream animal experts (who typically focus vary narrowly on a specific species for their study), many cryptozoologists study or research a broad range of alleged creatures from many different families.

The obvious answer would seem to be because they know Archer would disapprove of their hunting of a sentient species -- but no, because near the end of the story they lay all the cards on the table voluntarily.
I also appreciated the sentiment behind the idea of reaching deep into Archer's subconscious and finding the image of this fictional woman, who has been in his memory since childhood and whom he hadn't thought about in years.
Perhaps another lesson to be learned here: The next time your life is in danger and you need help, go to the cops, but be sure to send them on a convoluted chase where the clues eventually lead them back to your actual problem.

 DM4 §46: A short history of interactive fiction
Usenet, a wide-ranging system of discussion forums or “newsgroups”, was created in 1979 and roughly doubled in usage each year: but in 1985 it still only accounted for 375 postings per day, across all topics combined, and as late as 1989 it was still possible for a single person to skim through the entire traffic.
The rest of the infrastructure of the present interactive fiction community was created by four almost simultaneous events: first, the creation of specific Usenet newsgroups (on or before 21 March 1992, 21 September 1992), moving away from sporadic and easily drowned-out talk in the early

Fictional characters are frequently included in indexes for volumes of literary criticism and are never inverted.

 Encyclopedia of Arda: Hobbits
Most of his names for characters and places came from established languages, fictional or otherwise, and so they had a 'real' history in Tolkien's imagination that could be translated into his fictional world.
The solution he chose was more sophisticated: he selected the Old English words hol byldan, or some similar variant, meaning 'to build a hole', and developed the fictional compound holbytla (plural holbytlan).
We can only realistically see this as an attempt to marry his fictional people with the 'hobbits' of folklore and tradition.
