Probably -- but keep in mind that Unwin probably changed his opinion after 
he submitted the abstract (the deadline for that was in May if I remember 
that right!). In his talk he said (in Bennett's presence) he now agrees with 
Bennett that the fovea articulated with that sesamoid and not with the 
pteroid, and that it took him about a month to change his opinion while he 
was looking at good specimens. However, he proposed a _third_ hypothesis on 
where the pteroid did articulate.
