I agree it cannot stay as it is. I suggest leaving it on the discussion page in case anyone can make a definitive judgement on the matter and write a more clear-minded entry. I think the problem here is with what "common sight" means; they could have been a real phenomena while still being rare and getting magnified in popular recollections.

Stories don't tell us monsters exist; we knew that already. They show us that monsters can be trademarked and milked for years.

I have no idea what the entry is supposed to be saying is dated. "There is disagreement on how prevalent this thing is" isn't Dated History. It's academia in general and seems like a case of people sitting on chairs.

I'll chop it, citing this thread, so the OP does not risk getting cited for edit warring.
