The Point of view of Pi is unreliable in the book, Life of Pi. His story has a lot of unbelieveable content, such as the island made of seaweed, the man on the lifeboat that is blind, and the whole story itself. Because of Pi and Richard Parker's poor nutrition, they where not thinking straight and the whole thing could have been a halucination.
The Chineese investigators at the end of the book parrallel our society, unless we see it or have proof we cannot believe it. Pi's story has no proof so the investigators do not belive him. The version they wanted to hear was the one Pi told second, where the animals on the boat were people. If a person that was not affected by health problems was on the lifeboat, then the story could have been told with no surprises and everything normal.
