  But going to it for Currie et al.'s paper on Judith
R. teeth (and *Ricardoestesia*) is a good point, since
they make a fair, and moving, argument for the
validity of Judith R. taxa based on teeth, validating
*Troodon* over *Stenonychosaurus*, though on available
material, I'd take the latter over the former.

  However, Charig and Milner is useful as a critism of
Gauthier, 1986, though they're comments refer _only_
to the presented data, instead of modifying it to fit
a new taxon into the fold. That they recently recinded
their separation of Bary from Spino into -idae's
(1989; also, see Sereno et al., 1998) is a sigh of
relief.
