Greg Paul doesn't draw thick necks, just because he feels like doing it. If 
Maiasaura 
and Corythosaurus looks silly to you, it's not he's fault! Thick nuchal 
ligaments has 
actually been fosilized around the neck of Hadrosaurs (among other skin 
preservations, 
like a throut pouch at Maiasaura), and should be there at all Hadrosaurian 
reconstructions made after that discovery.
