Apparently the concept of birds evolving from dinosaurs has gone from hypothesis to theory but scientists are at odds over whether T. rex tasted like chicken. 😉
I think the relation between dinosaurs and birds is absolutely certain but what is absolutely incorrect is to say that “birds are dinosaurs”. They evolved from dinosaurs, but they don’t “are” dinosaurs! Palaeontologists should use an other name for this clade like Pandinosauria.
