* BrokenBase: Many of his more recent videos have focused more on anthropology and human society than biology and paleontology. Some find these videos to be an interesting change of pace from his earlier work, while others get frustrated when he uses them as an excuse to [[AuthorTract preach]] about his own [[DontShootTheMessage political beliefs]].

* {{Squick}}: Watch his speculative idea for what the Loch Ness Monster is. If that doesn't scare you out of ever going near the lake in your life, nothing will.

CRF is supposed to be when people make extremely obvious mistakes, even though Trey had no way of knowing where this came from. I think this would go better under Cowboy Bebop At His Computer.


* CriticalResearchFailure: Generally averted, but he makes a pretty embarrassing one in his "Top 13 Most Inaccurate Fossil Reconstructions" when he includes a bonus example of a winged ''Ankylosaurus''. [[https://chasmosaurs.blogspot.com/2013/09/vintage-dinosaur-art-be-dinosaur.html That reconstruction came from a kids' book that challenged young readers to identify made-up dinosaurs]], with the above-mentioned creature being one of the phonies (the other being "[[Film/TheBeastFromTwentyThousandFathoms Rhedosaurus]]"), meaning it was never meant to be taken seriously.

You think that the same image included a dinosaur called "[[Film/TheBeastFromTwentyThousandFathoms Rhedosaurus]]" would have tipped him off.

I generally like this guy, but that's just face-palmingly stupid. Don't take Artistic License Palaeontology too seriously unless you want to fail at childrens' quizzes. If Love In The Time Of Chasmosaurs can get it right, then you can too, Trey.
