- No, you have been corrected on numerous other matters, from thermodynamics
- to Newtonian mechanics. You have never included any of these corrections
- in your posts.

- And even the sauropod data is still incorrect. Oh, the 'facts' are 'verifiable'
- in the sense that they were published in the books you looked at. But when you
- actually go the the specimens and analyse them using proper methodology the
- facts come out quite different. It would be *really* useful if you stopped
- relying on such bogus sources as "The Guiness Book of World Records". [Well,
- I suppose it is not exactly bogus if used for its intended purpose - but that
- is *not* a scientific purpose, so using it as a source of 'scientific' data
- is indeed bogus].
