The perception of what is scarry, or endearing can be maniputlated.  Look at
the design of monsters before Alien, and then after it.  The public reacted
to it's design quality, and the studios had to deliver more.>

If  the more accurate 'dinos' were more vivid and frightening, sure.  But
suppose that the changes didn't make much difference to the public's
response, except for small groups of specialists last seen trying to figure
out where Godzilla fit in a cladogram.
Accuracy in details of appearance can be one alternate choice, and maybe not
a very significant one anyway, given how little people remember of what they
see.
Accuracy in dialogue and behavior is something else; people will remember
that.
At least in my experience most people remember stories, narrative, sequences
of events better than anything else.  Is your experience different?
Curious.  (Course I'm asking an artist, whose visual memory is going to be a
lot better than average.  But the general run of people?)
