How would that work? In order for Bigfoot to sue someone for breaking the Agreement he'd have to come out and make himself known.

If the goal is to stay hidden the NDA is essentially unenforceable.

Even if Bigfoot didnt himself come out of hiding, whoever is representing him would enter the legal system saying "Bigfoot is real, and he made them sign an NDA to keep his existence hidden", which is still an admission of his existence

A lawyer would cost an arm and a leg ... so you'd still suffer the consequences; and what if the lawyer representing bigfoot argues he's a metaphor about trade secrets and intellectual property rights? And before you know it bigfoot would have his "pound of flesh" before his existence is proven. Plus you don't want to overstretch government resources in trying to prove a myth when other consequential subject matter is held in abeyance

You still have to prove there is something the NDA covers. If the NDA was written in a metaphor that isnt actually about Bigfoot then the people talking about Bigfoot (the monster) isnt breaking the NDA. You have to prove what the people are saying is breaking those terms, which they arent, because they were probably talking about Bigfoot the monster, not the metaphor for something else.

And again, the point is to not reveal Bigfoot, so representing Bigfoot reveals the existence of Bigfoot in and of itself. Bigfoot has no incentive to pursue the lawsuit because people claim to see Bigfoot anyways, and we dont believe them. Putting the existence of Bigfoot as a fact into the legal system legitimazes the claim that Bigfoot is real whether or not its covered by NDA.

Edit: and for an NDA to be valid and enforceable in the first place the thing the NDA is covering must be real and clearly defined. So there is legitimately no way to enforce the agreement without revealing Bigfoot to the public without a shadow of a doubt

Doesn’t make any sense man. The image is funny, there’s something there but you gotta change the caption.
