I saw it. I think I even have it saved.
Reposting does not make the argument any more convincing. I still
disagree. While I am now a declared neutral in the AAT wars.
I still think that the aquatic predator issue is not fatal for
teh AAT. My neutrality comes from seeing a way that the transition
to bipedalism could have reasonabley happened without the mediation
of an aquatic phase.

Don't bother. I'll still disagree.
