Pre-Historic Creatures and Medieval Warfare

In the Middle Ages, blunt force weapons such as maces and warhammers became popular thanks to the noble class, the usually bought full metal armor what made cutting and stabbing (swords and pikes) virtually USELESS. What does this have to do with dinosaurs? Lets compare T. rex with Smilodon:

-T. rex was like a warhammer/mace wileding knight: it was robust in build, resistant and relied more on force to attack. Like this it would be able to take down most heavy armored foes (on T. rex's case: large ceratopsians and hadrosaurs, even if these had a thick hide. On the Knight's case: other kinights). The down side is that it would take quite some time to kill the foe, even if he was not so heavily armored.

- Smilodon was like a sword-pike wielding knight: it was robust in build, resistant and relied to piercing and stabbing to attack. Like this it would be able to take down larger tagets more easily, but ONLY if these were not heavily armored or had great gaps on the armor (just like a sword would not pierce trough metal armor, a Smilodon's tooth would never pircer trough a gliptodon's armor, for example). This is why Tigers can take down Gaurs by bitting their trhoats but only jaguars (that crush bones with their jaws) are able to break trough the body armor of a tortoise.

And in the end: they were just wild animals that used what they had to survive. Just like Smilodon would be able to take down larger prey, it was unable to deal with smaller ones and this is what led the species to extinction (in T. rex's case it would be able to kill a pachycephalosaurus if it really needed to eat), so to hate an animal for it is nonsense (and yes: this is kind of a reply to the one I call "The Brainless Hater").
