No Pterosaur Time Travel

At least one reader of my first book, Searching for Ropens, misunderstood my comment about the idea that ancient pterosaurs, sometimes, get caught in a time hole and appear briefly in our modern world. I never believed in anything like that;  it smells of superstition.

I mentioned that idea in my book to show how dogmatically some persons hold onto the idea that pterosaurs lived only many millions of years ago, even imagining time-traveling pterosaurs (to keep ancient extinctions alive.) How much more reasonable to simply believe in modern living animals!
