Edwin apparently doesn't notice, caught up in rambling about the subject. (Forgive him. It is his life's work.)
"Like being able to move so quickly-they have to be warm-blooded, or at least the dromaesaurs are, because otherwise I couldn't move half as fast, at least not for a sustained period like that, and the feathers-the feathers are amazing! No one, no one has even put forth the idea yet! At least not in any published papers; for all I know, someone might be working on one now-but it's amazing. Birds have to come from dinosaurs, somehow-some common ancestor species or a more direct path leading towards birds, I don't know which yet. But speed, feathers, warm bloodedness-oh, and the limb positions. Of course, we've had to do quite a bit of guessing as to how one's supposed to set up the skeletons, since generally they're jumbled, but by looking at the skeletons we just found and looking at my animal form, we've gotten that all wrong, too..."
