Great article. I was almost lost in the first section though, as I’m sure 99% of humans understand “dinosaur” to mean “all those huge ass animals that lived 200 million years ago” and not a particular biological group. The Wikipedia page on dinosaurs does a much better, non-pedantic job at explaining the distinctions.


But isn't the whole point about this article to be "pedantic" about popular misconceptions?


How is the wikipedia page non-pedantic compared to the article? It says the same thing, just in more detail.
