Turns out the guy just lied to one up a colleague. Apparently this has been common knowledge for some, but I never knew.
THE LAND BEFORE TIME IS ALL A LIE!!!!

and dinosaur means terrible lizard:
δεινος - Terrible
σαυρος - Lizard

That (being able to know some of the thought process behind dinosaur naming) and knowing the semi-amusing literal translation of various medical terms is one of the only benefits of studying classical greek.

If you guys read the article you would understand that the Jurassic park scene is still based on fact. The "brontosaurus" didn't "exist" in terms of it was already a discovered and named dinosaur. A paleontologist found a more complete fossil skeleton which was larger than the original skeleton of the apatosaurus which was found by an alternate paleontologist.

Brontosaurus is just another (far cooler) name for an apatosaurus. They're still big as fuck dinosaurs that very much existed. Your childhood dreams can live another day people.

Dinosaurs didn't exist. God put them on Earth to test our faith.

I know this might be a shock, but all dinosaurs are is our best guess of how these bones might go, what they might look like, and what they might have done.
