Stop making dinosaurs less like dragons!

This should not be the headline I wake up to: "Dinosaurs may have been more fuzzy than previously thought." Dinosaurs should be awesome, as in the 'filled with awe' awesome one feels in the shadow of a sequoia or when looking at the acropolis at sunset, not the awesome declared by a genetically altered turtle trained in the martial arts after he eats a slice of pizza. Dinosaurs should inspire fear and feeling that we are small and insignificant compared to these beasts that ruled the earth for millions of years. They should not invoke the same reaction as a pile of kittens. Normally I am a big defender of believing what is in accordance with the evidence even if you don't like it (I in fact rather destroyed my past life and past self because of this principle), but since I no longer believe in evidence or truth: Dinosaurs are mighty scaled monsters that are the closest thing we have to dragons; they are emphatically not cute.
