     Well as long as you're yielding...I just want to point out that 
R.S.Lull, in his Revision of the Ceratopsia (1933) proposed a kind of 
compromise to this cheek dilemma. He suggested that ceratopians possessed a 
kind of half cheek like that of the marine iquana, in which the mouth opening 
ends a considerable space before the rear of the jaw. I've always rather 
liked that idea, but at any rate, you now have the full spectrum of choices.
