Question

Isn't is just plain ridiculous to take a single centrum and extrapolate an entire genus/species and compare it to other genera? For an example of this kind of behaviour, see Mickey Mortimer's message of 6th November 2000 with the subject Details on "Capitalsaurus". To pull so much out of so little seems crazy, especially in the light of statements like ``The supposed squamosal of Zuniceratops is actually a therizinosauroid ischium'' in Mickey's message of 8th November 2000 with the subject NA therizinosaurs, Otogornis, Aublysodon and more
