A new game

[james_davis_nicoll]

Factual statements beginning with 'I've read enough Sci-Fi to know [...]'.

My suggestions were:

"that long series whose plot threads are diverging instead of converging are unlikely to go anywhere interesting."

"that many Golden Age writers behaved as if women were something they'd only heard of 3rd hand via malicious intermediaries."

and

"that turning to SF for the science is like turning to Carl Barks for the ornithology."

If Michael Lee doesn't think it settled, and views the case for grouping chelonians with parareptiles, that's good enough for me. Particularly as the case for Eunotosaurus as an ancestral turtle has been revived - left my ICVM notes at home, am not sure that this work has been published yet. But a good case for a paraphyletic Reptilia being equivalent to Amniota is by no means obsolete.
