And not a single word about the thicker, more dense air that existed during the epochs of the dinosaurs.

Denser air would displace more weight given the same area. It would apply more upward pressure for any wing area and velocity.

I see nothing mentioned that the air was much more dense in the hotter climates when these animals flew.

The analysis appears flawed.

Really? I never heard of this before. That’s pretty interesting.
