it isn’t an arbitrary reclassification like Pluto. or a discrepancy between different usages like culinary usages will have biological fruits moved into vegetables like tomatoes and cucumbers.
it is more like discovering that Birds are descendants of dinosaurs and because dinosaurs is a monophyletic classification , it means that all birds are in fact dinosaurs.
if it is shocking to you because when you hear dinosaurs you think of movie monsters, then it’s a you issue.
that’s looks believing a real farm pony can’t be a pony because from my lived experience ponnies can talk and have friendship magic.

I agree if we were talking about the stuff in a more serious manner but in this case it fits perfectly as a shower thought because its clear that we are talking about ‘technically’. Birds are inarguably dinosaurs via phylogeny hence it is funny that dino nuggets are dinosaurs in two ways.
