    I am not disagreeing. Birds are dinosaurs. But it’s not a particularly useful way of understanding them for the average person. You might as well be extremely insistent that they’re chordates. Do you remind people that trees aren’t a taxonomic group every time they come up in conversation?

      I don’t, but I try to.
