You're still not addressing the contents of the video. Yes, there are many articles out there that will say Spinosaurus is bigger, but the number of articles saying something is absolutely worthless if the data says something entirely different. You know the old saying, don't believe everything you read on the internet, but do an actual fact check. I have properly addressed your own claims in my previous response (and noting that your claims were themselves made in spite of the contents of my previous arguments). Why is it supposedly "laughable" to say that the explanation is that it has "not been picked up on"?

YouTube does not share the same problem as Wikipedia does in this instance simply because we're not talking about a wiki but a video hosting site where news and ideas can be shared and the video itself is merely a summary of known verifiable data. Noting that wikis are not immune to being controlled by groups or individuals, including those with administrator rights, regardless if the articles are locked or citing sources (they may not allow all relevant sources on the topic but favor a certain image). Further adding that I think it is quite disrespectful of you to imply that I never actually read and review Wikipedia's articles.

Again, it's not the video in itself that demonstrably shows T-Rex to be larger than Spino but the data presented within it and you still refuse to address it. Claiming that "it hasn't been picked up on" is a bad excuse and that "it would be all over by now" is very flawed reasoning, and this is further demonstrated by how few views the video has received. Believe it or not, but there are countless videos, individuals, and information out there that remain unknown and unnoticed by a majority of the population.

I'm sure you've at some point discovered something new to you that was known a long time ago by somebody else that you might wonder how you missed it. This still boils down to the fact that there's a lot of information out there and a lot of it is never picked up on and many people will remain unaware of it (noting that the only real reason people even know about Spinosaurus as portrayed today is because major organizations like Universal and National Geographic picked up on it and cared to promote it). Your claim that this is a "bad excuse" is itself a really bad counterargument and the burden is on you to support that claim.

You won't be convincing anybody (nor being productive in any way) by simply insisting that you're right and the other person is wrong. You still need to properly address the contents of the video. Noting that it's perfectly okay to be wrong or not being able to address it, but at least have the courage to admit it, and don't just bury your head in the sand telling yourself that everything will work out the way you want it to.
