Hmmm... I think you may have missed HP Keesey's sarcasm, there.  I think, by 
his "37%" comment, he was trying to say that there is basically no point of 
debating such superfluous "animal vs. dinosaur" scenarios as THERE IS NO WAY 
OF KNOWING!  Same goes for racing dinosaurs, plotting them against one 
another, and examining what colour their mouths were (as interesting as the 
idea might be)...
Just had to get that off my chest. :\
