Webbed/not webbed - Who cares, why not talk about the "hard parts" evidence
Any illustration going beyond the hard parts evidence is (probably) going to be speculative. There is no way of knowing either way. Had the illustration been done without webbed feet, it also might be wrong. Had it been done such, should there be someone complaining that there is no evidence to support the depiction of non-webbed feet?
​
The more solid evidence to compare are the respective skeletons.

Almost, but not posted in the admin-mode,

Now, we find out the creature looks no more like a whale than a goat does, and does not resemble the descriptions and characterizations as an aquatic animal very much at all.

Rand, I think you need to directly respond to the content of message 97.
​
Regardless of whether or not "earlier depictions were sensationalized", the information of the above cited seems to be the state of the art knowledge on the matter.
