And by no means should we listen to paleontologists who note that dinosaurs are unlikely to have survived ice ages.

Even if they really could have accurate data on what horses did "85 millions years ago," how could they possibly pinpoint one causation when there are a million environmental factors that they don't, and will never, have access to?
