Brilliant. That is how you refute a theory. It was not one impact. It was two impacts. OK?!

It is like my favorite, the hypothesis that Shakespeare could not have been Shakespeare because no one was smart enough to write what Shakespeare wrote. So, the only way to explain the existence of one extraordinary and highly improbable genius is to hypothesize either a.) that it was really some other extraordinary and highly improbable genius, or b.) that it was really two extraordinary and highly improbable geniuses (like betting to draw an inside straight not once, but twice).

Genius, I wrote in my first response on the thread that it was more likely a combination of factors that led to the dinos' demise. The woman behind that other piece I posted, btw, now believes other factors, including massive volcanic outpourings in India (Deccan Traps) may have been the real culprit, or at least large player.

Would you agree that this latest pronouncement is meant to silence the critics mentioned above?

What’s in it for the winning side?

Is this a pet project of yours or are you just normally this testy?
