A dinosaur is not "any extinct animal". Any 5 year old could clarify this for you .

You're on the "science used to be real but now it's not anymore" bandwagon being used by various groups to forward their agendas. It's a little simplistic, but it does work on many.

Now come on, how many 5-year-olds know that birds are dinosaurs?

It's understandable though because when science becomes so heavily theory-laden that lay people don't understand it, they can be forgiven for suspecting that perhaps some of the scientists don't understand it either. I know I can be forgiven for thinking that, because I know it's true. Even if such cases are exceptional, there are many cases where scientists disagree so fundamentally that one side or the other may be assumed to be wrong.

Everything you need to understand the context here is provided in what you quoted. I have bolded the key statement to help you along.

You shouldn't get involved in arguments with Diogenes.

His main trouble is that he isn't extinct.

He's a bit on the slow side. You're a bit on the angry side so you're made for each other.

I just look slower in your frame of reference because you are always trying to catch up to me and never quite get there. Einstein. He was brilliant, you should look him up.

You actually believe you're clever. I suppose a lot of people believe they are that. Specially on a chess site, yet you never understand anything. Everyone's bound to be wrong when you can't even understand them.

Anyway, never mind, you have an angry, bored young lady to keep you company, it seems. I'll disappear until Elroch answers me, if he does.

Willow, is he calling you an angry young lady?
Avatar of Willow_668
