Okay, it's been awhile now, so we've all had a chance to decide whether to respect the opinions of Goodwin and Horner. Let's open this up to debate, since it's definitely a controversial topic. To refresh your memories, Goodwin and Horner wrote off Dracorex and Stygimoloch as the juvenile and adolescent Pachycephalosaurus.

I have to ask...who was Bakker, and why do Goodwin and Horner pwn him? I assume there won't be any flying raptors with scissors in this explanation...

Um, Bakker is a traditionalist who thinks Pachy's head-butted. I like Bakker, but his theories can sometimes be... well... Horner PWNED him because in JP: TLW, a Bakker representitive was killed by a T-Rex when he saw a snake, freaked out, and ran into the jaws of Daddy Rex.

Robert Bakker was one of the men responsible for the "Dinosaur Renaissance" that began in the 1970's. He was one of the first to illustrate feathered dinosaurs in the 1980's and believed them to be highly successful, warmblooded, intelligent animals. He is the author of "Dinosaur Heresies" and "Raptor Red". You'll recall in Jurassic Park Tim telling Grant about "this other book by a guy named Bakker", that book was "Dinosaur Heresies". The paleontologist in JP: The Lost World was loosely based on him and he was actually killed by the rex as a favor to Jack Horner.

Crichton had nothing to do with it! Bakker wasn't in the book! You know, I also think Bakker lied and said he worked on JP, and Speilburg got pissed. And so was Horner.
100 POSTS!

Actually, Horner wrote the entire scene as a favor Speilburg owed him.

He was an advisor to the film but not as involved as Horner. The wikipedia page on Bakker has the following. " The bearded paleontologist Dr. Robert Burke" in Steven Spielberg's film The Lost World: Jurassic Park is an affectionate caricature of Bakker. Sadly, he is eaten by a Tyrannosaurus rex.[2] In real life, Bakker has argued for a predatory Tyrannosaurus rex, while Bakker's rival paleontologist Jack Horner views it as primarily a scavenger. According to Horner, Spielberg wrote the character of Burke and had him killed by the Tyrannosaurus rex as a favor for Horner. After the film came out, Bakker recognized himself in Burke, loved the caricature, and actually sent Horner a message saying, "See, I told you T. rex was a hunter!""

Is this just me or did this become less of a Pachies or not thread and more of a Bakker v. Horner thread?
