"As many have pointed out, Tyrannosaurus rex has now ascended from the limits of pure scientific research and imposed itself as a postmodern, geomythological icon. This renders it immune to standard scientific criticism, thus making it unassailable, almost sacred. No one wants to abandon the legendary Tyrannosaurus rex for the obscure Manospondylus gigas. What should we do? Destroy our myth in order to accept scientific rigor, which would have us substitute the current name with the one that came first?"
