As a certain Romulan hissed in a certain episode of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, "It's a FAAAAAAAAKE!!!"

Finally, a scientifically valuable study.
That once again proves that Longrich's argumentations more often turn out to be syllogisms.
In this regard, it's likely that the other co-authors had more some kinda "back-up roles".
Thanks for sharing !

This is a great paper, but I really stopped by to commend you for the A+ title for this thread.

A quick update regarding this topic.
I am sharing here the link of an interesting article which sheds some light on why Sharpe and his team didn't have access to the so-called « holotype » to CT scan it to confirm their suspicion...

I just read that too. NL does seem to frequently be at the centre of controversies, doesn't he? And really doesn't like playing with others when they have questions or concerns

If you are a paleontologist and you are seriously going to try and impede other paleontologists from accessing a specimen because their research just might debunk yours, then you are not in it for the science. You are in it for yourself and you are a major disgrace to the profession.

But it's Longrich, so we already knew he was.

Isn't he also behind the Labocania debacle?

Yes, Longrich re-appraised Labocania and confirmed that it is a tyrannosaurid, placing it as closely related to Teratophoneini.
