If avian digits really are II-III-IV and there was no frame shift, then it
seems more likely to me that all tridactyl _Theropoda_ have digits II-III-IV,
all tetradactyl _Theropoda_ have digits II-III-IV-V, and any similarity between
the manual digits of subpentadactyl (is that a word?) _Theropoda_ and the
manual digits of known basal, pentadactyl _Dinosauria_ like _Herrerasauridae_,
_Eoraptor_, etc. are convergent.


This is curious because I have a friend who suggested the same idea at AltperDino Forums.
