(with Xu as a coauthor) state "Optimization of manual characters suggests that the manual morphology of Limusaurus is unlikely to be representative of the averostran ancestor as previously hypothesized." Which might translate as 'we were wrong that the reduced manual digit I means tetanurines lost digit I', and yet they say "we argue that the presence of bilateral digit reduction in Limusaurus and other ceratosaurs remains a key piece of evidence for understanding theropod digit homologies." So from the abstract, that sounds like saving face.</i><br /><br />Unfortunately I missed that talk.
