This is something I presently agree with. They're three or more different
species within the genus Albertosaurus. Basically they differ from one
another >slightly< in limb proportions/robustness (if this isn't
ontogenetic/sexual), positions of a couple of cranial openings, shapes of the
lacrimals, and tooth counts and shapes. Tyrannosaurus and Tarbosaurus are
>much< different from Albertosaurus.
