Counter-example that came to my mind- Alvarezsaurus

According to:

The drawing you sent(above)has the head on the left side. I think you'll
agree the left side of the ilium in the drawing is heavier/taller than the
right side. Therefore, Alvarezsaurus is Saurischian - which agrees with
orthodoxy. The palaeos drawing shows it strongly Saurischian, if the mass
ratio is any measure.

Thanks very much for your comments, Mike Milbocker
