I love nitpicking!

  1. Mammals are a clade while reptiles are paraphyletic. Well, dinosaurs are too when birds are excluded, but I would gladly leave the birds in. In any case, dinosaurs win over mammals, so it wasn't probably a good nitpick after all.

  2. No dinosaur species did live along with humans, so direct competition didn't take place.

  3. I can't find a nit to pick it here.
