“The bats have to produce echolocation with their mouth to fly, so if they cannot produce the sound, they cannot fly.” They just discovered that bats capture and eat bats.
How can they be certain that bats can't fly without echolocation?

Why would that be so surprising? Bats are mammals and therefore, carnivores or omnivores.
If a Bat came across a nestling or sleeping songbird, he just found his breakfast.
We could try asking Urania about it, but she was a mere
Muse, not a Zoologist.

I consider myself an art aficionado. But I had never seen that painting. I guess it’s no wonder since it’s hanging in flint MI, for crying out loud.

Modern science seems highly prone to condescension regarding what was “known” in the past.

I saw an bird (owl) catch a bat in mid air once. It was cool
To: Red Badger
People used to be outside a lot.
They saw a bunch of stuff.
Now days people stay inside a lot.
They do not see very much unless it is caught on camera.

The theory ASSUMES that an artist in 1611 might know that a bat isn’t a type of bird (just like a whale was a type of fish).
