It’s almost ten years since my paper on dinosaur decline, which was a bit controversial, got published.

In retrospect, something that I hadn’t done well in that time is explaining that I actually spent nearly a year (before publication) actively trying to refute my own results. I wasn’t successful.

However, most people seem to have thought that we went in with a narrow focus, to prove our hypothesis, which cannot be further from the truth.
