Quite so!  This is mentioned in my paper in the
possibly-never-to-be-published DinoFest 98 volume, as are other
possibilities (for example, the ratio of scavenged vs. hunted food might
vary with seasons, or within species from region to region, or within
species from stratigraphic interval to stratigraphic interval, or among the
various tyrannosaur species).<<

You know what would really suck? Someone else, coming up with your same
conclusions (on any subject, lets say) and they publish their paper and your
paper (which says the same thing) was presented to a paper, journal,
monograph, etc. that never gets published. Something that is totally out of
your hands. The other guy gets all the credit.
