Hypothesized, yes.  But I really, really doubt if it could.  Even Charig and
Milner, who (I believe) were the first to suggest such a stance, have
recently reneged on this idea.  Besides that, as Demetrios already pointed
out, how could _Baryonyx_ get down on all fours if it's hands couldn't
pronate?  (Could they?)
