THE BEAUTY OF THE IDEOLOGY...:

Evolutionary fault makes dragon lizards run on two legs (Lucy Cockcroft, 14/06/2008, Daily Telegraph)

For years scientists have pondered why dragon lizards use just two of their four legs as they sprint across the Australian outback, and after putting the creatures through their paces on a treadmill they have the answer – it is down to a design fault. [...]

[Dr Christofer Clemente, of the University of Cambridge,] said: "I think it's just an evolutionary accident. It's a consequence of them wanting to run really quickly. As they are moving, it causes the front of the body to flip up."

...is that they're so confused at this point that they refute it themselves.
