Summarize Argument: Phenomenon-Hypothesis

The author concludes that the belief that the T. rex developed certain features to accommodate its great size and weight must be abandoned. This is because an earlier skeleton has been discovered of a dinosaur with the same features, but with a far smaller size and weight.

Notable Assumptions

The author assumes that the skeleton in question is that of an adult dinosaur, rather than a juvenile that would have grown larger. The author also assumes that the dinosaur in question didn’t happen to develop features similar to the T. Rex for different reasons than the T. Rex did. In other words, the author doesn't think that multiple causes--size for the T. Rex and something else for this other dinosaur--can lead to the development of similar features.
