"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.

Sure it was. It made the poster look like an ignoramus.

Actually, looking at the bones can give an excellent understanding of how they moved. Is there a lot of speculation on behavior? Sure; but they don't, contrary to anti-evo belief, just make it up out of thin air.

I'll readily agree that what passes for "science" on the Discovery Channel is almost unadulterated speculation wrapped up in second-rate computer graphics.
