I really can’t help it if you present yourself as an idiot.
Life size animatronic models have been built of some of the larger dinos, particularly the ones we have complete skeletons of. If you have something to say about structural impossibilities, I suggest you build a model and test your engineering hypotheses.
My own experience leads me to think that living creatures are stronger and more agile than animatronics. In any case, it would be fairly easy to test your hypothesis about maximum neck length.

Some of the smaller ones are obviously costumes worn by people, but the principle remains the same: if you want to demonstrate that a structure is impossible, build one.
So i am insane, a kook, a conspiracy theorist, and now an idiot. How far do you intend to extend you ad hominem attacks?
You claim I made errors on the weights of megafauna. You can find those quoted weights in any text book or reference book on dinosaurs. In fact, except for the original article that started this thread, I have posted only references from recognized experts in their sciences taken from peer reviewed scientific journals. Weights when presented were also extracted from recognized resources in paleontology and are the accepted weights for the animals to which they refer.
Your idea that “lifesize animatronic models” of some of the dinosaurs could be used to “test” whether they could move is absurd. Those models are merely a synthetic skin over a metal frame with some hydraulic actuators which have no relationship to the real thing made of dense muscle, skin, tendons, and bone that weighs many times more than the model.
You continue to ignore the well established Square Cube LAW (where is that reference to it only applying to “idealized spheres?” I’m still waiting for that ) and now you want us to believe a basically air filled model with steel or aluminum bones, hydraulic “muscles,” and steel cable “sinews and tendons” is the same as the real thing for determining whether a flesh and blood animal muscle could lift a mass of muscle and bone at the end of a very long lever. Who’s the idiot here? It’s not me.
