Must make you proud inventing such an ignorant strawman argument. Do you have anything of substance to say about THIS find, or are you content to just make things up?

To be sure, that was not a bad satire of the often ridiculous extrapolations made on popular "science" shows like "When Dinosaurs Roamed" (or whatever it was called). I mean, with a few exception, they don't know how these critters moved and certainly can't tell us much about how they behaved, but those programs make out as if we know as much about their behaviour and life cycle as we do African lions, for example. I wouldn't mind it too much if they would preface the show (and every return from a commercial) with a disclaimer that nearly everything you are about to see is highly (extremely highly) speculatory.

Call me stupid (which I'm certain you will), but I thought is was witty and funny.
