Thank you, I was going to point that out myself. To let you not feel alone, I'll be “that guy” with another one:
The article talks about “when the dinosaurs roamed the earth”. Even ignoring for a moment that they're still roaming just fine today (birds are dinosaurs), this pretends like there was a singular moment when dinosaurs were “roaming”. In reality, of course, dinosaurs have existed for hundreds of millions of years; way longer than twice the time since the K-Pg extinction event (which, again, didn't fully cause all dinosaurs to go extinct).
