And we cannot with certainty rule out gods, ghosts, bigfoot, sauropod trunks, 
and scavenging only tyrannosaurs. There is no actual reason to believe that 
any of these things or mobile dinosaur lips existed, and illustrating them with 
the same is errant (as per PDW). We can say with extreme confidence that 
tyrannosaurs scavenged, and the case for lizard like immobile lips in theropods 
is 
excellent despite the conclusions of Ford, Witmer and their diabolical ilk.
