I can't speak for George (I've tried, but he is
resistant to ventriloquism), but I was under the
impression that he was saying that a bolide which
caused the end of all species of non-avian dinosaurs
would have created quite a few crunchy frogs too, if
not all of them.

And even as you stated his argument, it's not
circular.  It would be if he was stating his
assumption to prove his assumption, whereas you don't
even get good sophistry from what you've asserted he
stated.

Ah well, enough of this.  I'm back to affixing horns
onto rabbit trophy heads to sell as curios.
