remember: Jurassic Park is a movie. Horner is an advisor; he is not the
Director. Directors and producers are free to ignore each and every piece
of advice they are given.
Furthermore, Jack Horner's area of expertise is hadrosaurs.
Although he knows more about theropods then basically anyone else involved in
the production, they are not his research speciality.
Similarly, when reading ANY press releases related to the JP series, take
any scientific assertion with a major chunk of halite (i.e., a big grain of
salt...).
