In the last case I was asked where I would search for Dilo DNA. I just responded, there were no blood sucking insects in the early Jurassic. There is some evidence that Dino DNA can survive in bones. I linked to the DNA in bones article. Last time I checked that article says that most experts do not believe Mesozoic DNA can survive until today. So, I covered that. Nonetheless there are some indications that it actually can. Those indication were relevant for the topic, so I mentioned them.

If you want to convince me, or anyone else here, that the DNA-half-life hypothesis PROVES that Dino DNA doesn't exist anymore, and we can't mention it anymore in discussions about Dino de-extinction, please start a separate discussion.

If you want to convince me, or anyone that Fair enough. I apologize for my misundertanding of the questions being asked, as well as your comments on them. Won't happen again :)
