iirc John Hammond covers this in the book. I was so young, but something is triggering it for me. Could just be the subconscious trying to protect grade 4 nostalgia, though.

Hell, I could've picked that up off playing Jurassic World Evolutions in the last six months and it's backpedal lore.

Whatever it is, Michael Crichton was no idiot.

Yeah he talks pretty openly about it being a marketing term, and the scientists later criticise the accuracy too.
