I mean, I just want to press with my answer because I always get asked about this understandably.

And it's like, I get that it's a movie.

But if someone's going to ask me, what does it get wrong?

I'm going to give them an answer.

But I do get people going...

Oh, you're just nitpicking.

Oh, you know it's fiction.

Oh, you know it's made up.

Yeah, I do know, but someone asked the question, so here's the answer.

Yeah.

Yeah, I mean, that's my take.

Again, I've worked on documentaries where they're claiming that accuracy is absolutely critical and 100% important, and they won't put anything on screen that I haven't told them to, and...

Then many of those things turn out not to be quite as true as advertised once you get round to it.

So I'm aware that when even documentaries will take massive liberties, you can't be too harsh on what is popular fiction.

On the other hand, I am also aware that it is...

by far by a ludicrous degree the most popular bit of any kind of media that includes my work as it were or something that i'm actively engaged in and know about and so whether or not it should have that influence for whether or not the filmmakers should have responsibility it does it does have that knock on um so i mean it's simple as stuff as tyrants can't see if you can't move yeah it could

I don't know where that came from.

As far as I can tell, Crichton just dreamed it up.

In The Lost World, his sequel book, he hints that there's a research paper that says it, and that's kind of where he got it from.

There's a second paleontologist character who's advising Dodgson, the evil InGen guy.
