        That depends on how you look at the situation, Stefan! If humans
are always the protagonists, genetically dragging whole subclasses back
from the otherwise permanent grave of extinction in this case, then the
dromeosaurs will be wearing black hats.  BUT, . . . (har, har!) what if the
Utahraptors were the good guys, and the silly bipedal mammals had dupped
the poor T. rex gal into thinking she was using her serated teeth simply to
quell the desire to hunt, when in "actuality" she was already just a tool?!
 Makes you wonder, eh . . .
