Correcting My Mistakes

I've made a few mistakes in my videos over the years and I'd just like to correct a few of my inaccuracies and explain myself. From Dimetrodon-Half Sails to Quill Knobs I'll try to fix anything I've misreported. Thanks for watching! Paleo Profile coming soon!

[@КириллДектярев]

Trey, can you please make a video, disproving a common mistake: Arthropods during Carboniferous increased in size ONLY because of the bigger ammount of oxygen. I am actually baffled by this mistake, several scientific sources adress it. I think you made that mistake during your paleo profile of arthropleura. Sources: "The Odonatoptera of the Late Permian Lodève Basin (Insecta)" Nel et al. 2008 "Active Regulation of Insect Respiration" Sláma 1999 (or better just google "tracheal breathing" in general) "Atmospheric oxygen level and the evolution of insect body size" Harrison et al. 2010 Some of my theories that can explain the growth of arthropods. 1. There were many natural niches needed to be taken by animals. Many vertebrates were still mostly aquatic, some amphibian. On the other hand, arthropods roamed the land quite freely. They had a good opportunity to diversify. No natural predators also helped. 2. Despite the famous belief that all arthropods instantly became small after Carboniferous is ridiculous. Most of the arthropds, especially members of Meganeuridae family still lived in late Permian. For example, the order of Meganisoptera. 3. And lets talk about molting. It is somewhat of a counterpoint to the growth because of oxygen. First, it is limited to a body size. Not only because of the added weight but also the simple problem of supporting a soft exoskeleton against gravity until it has hardened, and the increased time it takes to harden (since hardening after ecdysis works by polymerization of sklerotin, which is driven by oxygen iirc, and that is a purely passive process driven by diffusion, so a thicker exoskeleton takes exponentially longer to harden). 4. Scientists have already put 12 species of insects in a highly oxygenated artificial enviroment. 10 of the 12 species started to shrink in size. I am by no means a paleontologist, but I am pretty sure the oxygen thing was disproven.

[@КириллДектярев]

[@MrHusang23]

To be able to say "hey, I was wrong, it was my mistake" and taking the responsibility for it, is one of the greatest characteristics you can have. Very few people take responsiblity for what they say or do, and our society offers you the chance to buy yourself out of situations like this (lawyers exist for this reason); but as some wise man once said, we learn from our mistakes. If you admit your "failiure", you can learn from it, and become better. I can highly appreciate this in any person.

[@Dodoraptor4]

Sadly, a lot of times people use the fact that Trey sometimes say inaccurate/unpublished things so they can disprove things totally like: One thing that Trey said was false, it means that T. rex was certainly featherless (it's a possibility, but not certain) Each side likes to jump into a conclusion too quick without thinking too much

[@iluvyurbles]

I'll alway point out that it's only human to make mistakes and as long as you realize and own up like Trey did here did. Also, that's just sad, I mean why are people so afraid of science?

[@AntiFaGoat]

Eagle In A Beanie Some people just really like their T Rex to look like the ones in the Jurassic Park films. Science be damned when you can have a cool monster to them.

[@yeboi3320]

Sinister Sweet What people don't realise is that dinosaurs aren't movie monsters like Godzilla or the Xenomorphs, they're animals. But apparently that's boring to them despite how popular shows like Walking with Dinosaurs were and that had dinosaurs acting like animals, not monsters.

[@iluvyurbles]

They act like hollywood invented dinosaurs

[@yeboi3320]

Eagle In A Beanie Exactly. They should learn that they're not. Sure we can still have films like Jurassic Park in the public eye but make it clear that the dinosaurs in the franchise aren't actually the real thing.

[@AVA-hu4yf]

Bravo. Always remember, your ability to address your errors with candor is what sets you above those who deny facts and reality. Never be reluctant to address your mistakes. Be excited to. It shouldn’t be a source of insecurity but pride! You have the balls to swallow your ego in the name of truth! On that note should you need to address this in the future id avoid the intro where you talk about your reluctance to bring yourself to acknowledge your errors. Own them. Which you do awesomely throughout the video. Again bravo.

[@kylep007]

You should make a video detailing bad "design" in biology. It is a very good argument against creationism. Life has many cases where an organ/system/structure in an organism has an obvious flaw that could have easily been noticed and corrected by something capable of building all the different species from the ground up. This is because natural selection slightly modifies existing body parts over small increments over a long period of time. This results in body parts with "designs" that have no benefit, but can have several disadvantages. Some good examples include the left recurrent laryngeal nerve, the appendix, and the vertebrate eye. I'm sure you could explain it in much better detail than I just did.

[@kylep007]

I know that, but I get the feeling a creationist will just say the usual "were you there?" and deny that those species were extinct millions of years before humanity. With bad "design" in biology you can find them in human bodies today. Humans were supposedly created independently in gods image, so why would there be these easily correctable flaws that are explained by descent from other organisms. Since you can directly observe these examples i don't know how the "were you there?" argument would be valid.

[@hadomaru]

they'd of course mention that all of that came from the "curse". You can't beat creationism with science because it's not at all scientific.

[@EC2019]

"God just put that so-called flaw there to test you," they also tend to say.

[@november8039]

Like the fact that babirusas have tusks that can grow into their own skull and kill them

[@justarandomyoutubeuser5074]

I am a creationist but see evidence in species being related not evolved from like monkeys and elephants they are both from the kingdom mammalia but personally i see no way a monkey could evolve from an elephant or elephant to a monkey i am not saying evolution is dumb i just think everyone has a right to believe what they want to believe in it was nice sharing my opinion yet not spreading hate over evolutionists. Also thank you for your time

[@mrdogscratch]

You came off as refreshingly logical and insightful. Ken Ham comes off like the raving idiot he is. You've never seemed dogmatic to the idea all dinosaurs had feathers.

I think mistakes in dinosaur videos should be expected. Not due to bad research, but due to the fact that our understanding is ever... evolving. Also, since we never saw them, interpretation is up for debate in many things.

[@james13sylar]

Regarding the thing about the proto-feather and filaments evolving independently or having a common ancestor, I think it could have been a bit of both, the mutation in the dna to create those could have appeared in a common ancestor of all dinosaurs, for example, but remain turned off or being incomplete, and as the species diverse, it eventually turned on, but by that point it has changed from one branch to the other, creating different kinds of filaments.

Thank you for setting a good example! We need more people to have this kind of backbone! I once examined an audio mixing procedure advertised in a YT video, and after much back and forth exchanging ideas with other commentators under that video, I found out that it was faulty and described the error in detail. When I asked him to please correct his mistake - so that users who follow his advice do not copy it - the video's creator just went "meh" and remarked he was done with this topic and wanted to move on to another. So you can see my appreciation for what you are doing. More people need to learn that correcting yourself is a _good_ thing.

Science is self-correcting and very agnostic about a lot of things. It is good that you acknowledge that and get comfortable with "I don't know".

So glad i watched this video! As someone who binge watched most of your channel this week and found it by your Cryptid videos, i was also later interested in your paleo vids (i'm a geologist myself) but really the tone of the older ones was borderline toxic sometimes, specially the ones about "EVERYTHING HAS FEATHERS!!!". As you said "feather" carries some strong meaning and dino fuzz, filaments, proto feathers are usually more accurate, specially outside of Coelurosauria. As Carl Sagan said "extraodinary claims require extraodinary evidence" and certainly we find more and more new evidence every day, but as men of science we must be patient and always try to show both sides of the argument. Anyway your newer videos show great progress and your channel is really entertaining!! Cheers!

I know this is an old video now, but I still have to say, congratulations on not only admitting your mistakes, but also correcting them.

[@tappajavittu]

It's good you made this video, it's nice to see people admit their mistakes, correct them and grow as a person, you make great content and just gained a new subscriber.

[@FlyingSnake]

Fan art? Fan intro? Hell yeah

[@vincentmalpica]

My science teacher doesn't wanna believe dinosaurs had feathers. He is also my art teacher, and we did a dinosaur related projects. He then discribed a t-rex to have a crocodile like thicc tail, and scales. He told this to the whole class, and then I tried to correct him, and he wanted proof, I gave him a source, saying how alot of theropods had feathers and then he gave me a thing saying how saurapods all had scales, and same with theropods

[@MrCmon113]

Does he deny that flamingos have feathers?

[@Bluglojo]

awwww my crappy fanart is not here

[@Killerwhale-kp2fm]

Why do you want it there anyway!

[@edwardfletcher7790]

It's just great that you're even able to access and interpret some of these papers to help make your videos... Thank you for your efforts ! PS: 09:35 I think Duane Nash must have some terrifying fever dreams...

[@CJCroen1393]

The only other mistake I can think of was you mentioning the age-old "pterosaurs couldn't swim" thing in your Jurassic World review. Ironically, the diving Pteranodons was one of the few _accurate_ things about JW's pterosaurs XD Great video btw! I've been developing a strong liking toward Dimetrodon in particular recently, probably because we talked about it a bit in my recent geology class. My personal favorite interpretation of Concavenator's quill knobs is as anchoring points for long display spines--I have a book that portrays it as such, and it's a book I recommend to you, Trey, as it's REALLY cool (even though it has inaccuracies of its own--skim-feeding tapejarids? Really?). The book's called "Ancient Earth Journal: Early Cretaceous" and it's the first in a series of books that basically present themselves as field journals from the time of the dinosaurs. Their dinosaurs and other creatures are _mostly_ accurate (again, skim-feeding tapejarids, plus a slightly outdated Utahraptor, but then the findings about Utahraptor's weird anatomy weren't out at the time) and they're refreshingly portrayed as _actual ANIMALS_ rather than "BIG POWERFUL BEASTS ZOMG". Oh, and recently the second book in the series came out, focusing on the Late Jurassic.

[@thechatteringmagpie]

It shows considerable maturity to recognise and correct an error.

[@ryaquaza3offical]

Hey everyone makes mistakes, your still awesome you know I just have a question that’s been bugging me for awhile, what exactly is your channel mascot anyway?, ceratosaurus?

[@TREYtheExplainer]

Ryaquaza 1 thanks man! And used to know it, it's a rather obscure theropod I'll have to ask kosemen

[@billysomerfield2096]

Ryaquaza 1 It's Dippersaurus Pinecus! LOL

[@codyg6057]

I like that everyone is really excited about your uploads. Keep em coming!

[@luchito0015]

You still pronounce ORNITHISCHIA wrong tho. You say /OR-NEES-KEE-A/ and it should be /OR-NEE-THIS-KEE-AH/

[@FinalLugiaGuardian]

From what I can determine from evidence, we can't rule out that T-Rex didn't have anything we would refer to as "feathers" anywhere on its body. However, I think we can say at this point is it was covered at least in almost entirely scaly skin (with some small patches of feathers that might, and I do stress might, have been present). And to be honest, since I was a little kid, I've historically thought of T- Rex (thanks to Rex from Toy story) looking something like a giant scaly lizard and lizards don't have any feathers. However, I now must acknowledge there is a possibility T-Rex might have had some sparse patches of feathers, but we can't know for certain. I am confident we will get more information on T-Rex as more fossils are Unearthed. Then, maybe we can put to bed the question of whether or not T-Rex was entirely scaly or still had some small patches of feathers.

[@wetube6513]

Or simply we haven't found any impressions of feathers because they decomposed before they could fossilise.

[@leslielupus]

Subscribed because of this video. Very mature outlook and happy to see you keep evolving in the future

[@gavinjuge1961]

"conquayvenator"

[@Nana-qd6iu]

Wow you really gained my respect now. It's hard to point out our own mistakes and learn from them, congrats! And thank you for being respectful with your views by producing this video

[@drakesanddragons149]

Trey, might I ask why you always say "concwayvenator" or something like that? Unless I'm mistaken, Concavenator shouldn't be pronounced with a q sort of sound between the C and the A in conca-. Maybe it's something to do with the namesake that I don't know about?

[@NomzNoodle]

DrakesAndDragons no he’s just bad at reading

[@eeveeee6201]

This is why I like watching you, you correct yourself unlike other people that will not be named.

[@jamestang1227]

hey trey could you make a video on dinosaur intelligence or sounds

[@wschippr1]

Not very intelligent and pretty sure crocodilian and avian sounds are seen as the most likely, or a combination between the two. Sadly, vocals come purely (well almost) from soft tissue and it's hard to determine accurately what sounds they made. As for intelligence, we speculate it is greater than modern reptiles, but less that of modern birds. The question is how intelligent are birds? It's a harder question than one might think as animals in general are more intelligent than we once thought. Anyway, is speculate that the most intelligent dinosaurs were probably less intelligent than modern day birds. Corvids and parrots are generally seen as the more intelligent birds. The question of bird intelligence is difficult for us to study though, and in fact most no mammalian animals are difficult and even many mammalians are difficult because their biology is do different than ours (whales are an obvious example). Owls use to be seen as stupid in falconry, but as we learned more about owls we figured out that wasn't the case. It was how we were interacting with them that was the problem (treating them like other raptors. Which is a problem as owls do not use sight as their main sense, they use hearing) and not that they were stupid. With all of that said, it does appear that intelligence in animals as a hold have increased over the eons (based on examining cranium to body size ratios). Now how useful is that ratio? Well it seems to have a pretty strong correlation in modern animals, but animals that have highly developed sense need more brain power to process the information. That leads to an increase in brain size to body size ratio but does not mean an increase in intelligence. Humans, for example, actually dedicate a great deal of our brain solely for sensory perception (over 30% for vision, granted humans have some of the best and most detailed vision for mammals. Our other senses also use up a lot of our brain, iirc over half our brain is dedicated to nothing but processing sensory information. Of corse this is not a certainty, as well don't have a very good grasp on how the brain functions. It's just what it looks like through medical imaging,). So, how intelligent were dinosaurs? No one will be able to say for certain, but they defiantly had a wide range of intelligence (sauropods, for example, were almost certainly very stupid. This is due to brains requiring huge amounts of energy and they would try and be as energy efficient as possible. Theropods, especially the later and smaller ones, were probably very intelligent for the time, probably similar to Emu, Ostriches, and Elephant Birds,). Not sure if that helps at all, but that's probably where it will stay for the foreseeable future.

[@jamestang1227]

Thanks for the long detailed response. I don't read to much into scientific studies but I do like documentaries and the like and you're very specific. I kind of knew dinosaurs were dumber than birds but you really went into specific detail and I applaud you.

[@magiv4205]

I'm actually glad that the dimetrodon got updated again, I love the sail-less tips but otherwise intact sail. I know it's superficial, but whatever lol.

[@mstr293]

CHIN UP, BUD! Acknowledging mistakes is something you'd never find from Creationists or Conspiracy Theorists! IT'S A GOOD SIGN THAT YOU'RE THE REAL DEAL! :)

[@crimson90]

Trey the Explainer explaining his explanations. Treyception? Explaniception? Either way, I filled a cup.

[@paleomotion985]

Oh yes new trey upload

[@patrikoberstar158]

It's good that you acknowledge your mistakes like every KZbinr should but not many do
