I knew something was 'funny' about this story! The headline is misleading. They're talking about mass and bulk, not height or length.

"Scientists have discovered that the original statistical model used to calculate dinosaur mass is flawed, suggesting dinosaurs have been oversized.

Widely cited estimates for the mass of Apatosaurus louisae, one of the largest of the dinosaurs, may be double that of its actual mass (38 tonnes vs. 18 tonnes)."

Dinosaurs May Have Been Smaller Than Previously Thought:

Just proves that all evolutionists are liars and potential terrorists. (just kidding)

Actually less massive dinosaurs makes the most sense. We know that the bones were fairly lightweight and at some point they would be crushed under the weight of a super massive dinosaur.

We could ask Helen Thomas, she’s probably seen a few dinos.
