Umm... actually I do.  But what does that have to do with the price of fish?

(In other words, what relationship does your reply have to my initial post?)

The biomechanical evidence corroborates your hypothesis (as well as several 
competing hypotheses).  The phylogenetic evidence does not support BCF.  I 
don't know of any fluttering pre-tyrannosaur dino-birds from the Triassic.  
Nor does the available phylogenetic evidence suggest that they ever existed.

Gridley?
