Would that require teams to talk to each other?

There probably isn't an old.reddit.com team in the first place, so no talking is needed.

Has Avicenna too. But yeah, it's not a very universal overview... 😅

It's a reference to Rafael's School of Athens. Plato and Aristotle are in the centre of the painting: Plato is pointing upwards to the realm of ideal forms, and Aristotle is pointing forwards, into the empirical world.

"Još Alan Moore" - sve je to svjesni citat/parafraza. Moore je frazu uzeo od rimskog pjesnika Juvenala, "Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?", ponekad se to uči na latinskom u gimnazijama. Kontekst, iz satire br. 6:

Shvaćam što mi već davno vi drugovi velite stari:

"Postavi zasun i izići ne daj". Al' čuvati tko će

same stražare? Jer mudro preko njih počinje žena.

(prijevod Šimun Šonje; malo je nezgrapan ovaj zadnji dio, engleski prozni prijevod je: The wife plans ahead and begins with them, tj. ni stražari nisu dovoljni da se kontrolira ženski nemoral)

Then the logical conclusion is that the 2 people should find some other people to share the burden.

I really don't see how my statement is controversial. This is sadly how the internet works, regardless of how much or how little you can invest into your site - you need mechanisms to fight off against such spam and malice.

Idk, I've read some relatively popularly-oriented stuff on dino paleontology and classification, and some of those areas are shockingly shaky, so I don't think this is meant to be some special "diss" at the researcher. E.g. when I was a kid I knew very well what Troodon was, it was shown in all those dino encyclopedias and "documentary" films (Discovery Channel's Dinosaur Planet), noted for having the largest brain-to-body ratio, but it turns out that the whole species was reconstructed based on vague fossil fragments (like many other species, mind you) and tenuous connections between them (i.e. without good reasons to assume they belong to the same animal), and the current consensus is that the species literally did not exist at all. Having your taxonomic reclassification rejected seems pretty negligible compared to erasing a whole damn species...

an imageboard

I think we all know which one you're thinking of; nobody uses any other imageboard ;)

Which dinosaurs? Predators usually had relatively large heads because big head > big jaw > kill better and bite off more meat. But herbivores usually did not, as they could just focus on plants (instead they could develop longer necks to reach them in various places); some species such as Stegosaurus had rather famously tiny heads.

Tiny arms are associated with Tyrannosaurus and similar large theropods, but lots of other dinosaurs had relatively large arms, such as Dromaeosauridae ("raptors"). Their arm size probably reflected how much they were used during hunting - raptors' much more so than T-rex's, the latter probably relied on its jaws primarily. Of course discussing "arms" of various gigantic four-legged sauropods is pointless...

Basically there's too much variety among dinosaurs to answer your question directly.

U smislu da je nakaradno adaptirana riječ, ili ciljaš na samu ideju "provjeravanja činjenica"?
