I can certainly go along with the historical reasons--which occurred to me
shortly after I had sent off the e-mail. Too bad Owen didn't recognize
Cetiosaurus as a dinosaur (I think that didn't happen until Hulke in 1870 or
something like that; need to check it--Jack McIntosh has known this kind of
info from birth).
