Ah, got it. Yes, but is that an argument against what I said? Both non-shrink-wrapped dinosaurs and dinosaurs with feathers haven’t reached the general public conscience (and I’d argue feathers as a concept are easier to convey, actually, so they should take less time). So when popular science like the post in the OP talks about what depictions “do” instead of “did”, it’s talking to the public.
Feathers have been found on dinosaur fossils only “recently”, with the discovery of Sinosauropteryx in 1996
Sorry, not entirely sure what you’re saying?
I am claiming that the notion has been circulating only for the last 30 years.

I was not contradicting you, only adding context.
