A scientific explanation follows:

Small dinosaurs are generally considered to be of lesser size than large 
ones.  Large ones, often, are bigger and more massive than small ones.  
Medium dinosaurs are primarily those intermediate in size between the 
small and the large.

This is McLoughlin's Law of Size, and applies also to mammals, birds, and 
potatoes.
