This is why I hate 'science journalism' - it takes a non-contraversial result and acts like it overturns what was actually known.

There was never a serious claim that non-theropods were feathered, merely a hypothesis that it may have been basal to all dinosaurs.

That it isn't doesn't change the fact that Coelurosaurs (except possibly for the largest, like Tyrannosaurus) are feathered.

Yes, thank you! I hate when this article get trotted out as "HA! Got ya!" by anti-feather bros. Though that article about Tyrannosaurus skin impressions is still the worst!

Every time I see this article the pedantic part of me wants to point out that technically it isn't even true. The avian dinosaurs outnumber the (known) non-avian dinosaurs, so yes, most dinosaurs are feathered. ;D

Hah, yes, I actually considered mentioning that, too - though I wasn't 100% sure that it was the case and couldn't find a cite, so I cut it for fear of undermining my point...
