I assume that he's talking about Larry Martin.  I consider myself one of the 
many (or should I say most) that agree that birds are descended from a certain 
type of theropod dinosaur.  But, I did have the chance to hear Martin talk (as 
did many of you, I recall) and his arguments are not "withouth solid scientific 
evidence."
