Btw, I guess it went right over your head the fact that in the whale examples we were discussing creatures presently in abundance whereas with the dinos we were theorizing if any species could have survived.
But it seems you have to people spell out the very obvious. We had an abundance of A (Basilosaurus for example) and then an abundance of, say, Z, but we see nothing of the species in between.
With dinos, we don't see an abundance of Z.
I can only hope you are able to grasp the difference.
Dino Z's are all around you, feathered and winged.
I can only hope that you are able to grasp the descent.
