It's a double edge sword. Without speculation and extrapolation, things get dull quick.
OTOH, communicating degrees of uncertainty is not something that we typically do well.
- kurtisc 7y agoI'd prefer to see something like Matrera Castle. For architecture I find it a bit much, probably because it needs to be structurally sound, but for a skeleton or an antique it could bring more attention to the real parts and still offer a suggestion of what it might look like.
- dalbasal 7y agoThat would definitely be good for skeletons, but it doesn't solve the problem. Is is just this specimen that lacks ribs or is it the whole species? Do tend ribs vary much between species within the genus? It's a hard problem to solve, and people can get distrustful when they hear "facts" have been superceded, that the theory they read in a museum is no longer popular.
