On the one hand you say, "One cannot state, in
any scientifically verifiable way, that these
two species are capable of reaching the same
maximum length, in the first place." On the
other hand you say, "So far, what evidence there
is over the last 65 years seems to indicate that
atrox is the larger of the two species by almost
a foot." Please enlighten us on what evidence
indicates that atrox is larger, yet fails to
tell us which species is capable of reaching
what "maximum length." I presume it does not
resort to looking at size-class distributions,
which seems to suffer from all kinds of
assumptions, nor does it attempt to make a comparison
between these two very different species,
which would be comparing apples to non-apples.
