*shrug* Personality sells, and Horner isn't completely incompetent in his chosen field. I do think his persistent attitude towards T. rex despite contrary evidence is indicative of a deep-set need to have something of his own be so famous and prevalent.
I've also noted just a bit of hype over many of the Argentinian discoveries. Like Soviet-era warships, everything has to be the biggest and therefore "best." The classic is the recently-discovered "Godzilla" featured in National Geographic's prehistoric sea monsters issue.
Alligator-sized coastal lurker? "This was a top predator." Indeed. So is a ground sloth.
Does anyone else listen to Kajagoogoo's "Too Shy" and think of "Save the Earth?"
