Au contraire, mon ami. Although I haven't seen the paper yet, what I gather
from the dinosaur list postings is that Shuuvuia (or however you spell it) is
a perfect example of a flightless ground-dwelling form descended from a flying
dino-bird. Fits with BCF precisely. The big problem is just where on the bird-
theropod cladogram to place it.
