I disagree. It probably won't be as popular as an app that does have editing features but personally I'm fine with the lack of this feature.

I would also rather just edit photos in another dedicated app. IMO this is in line with the UNIX philosophy and I like that.

Sorry, I could afford to buy a "t".

This is an actual answer IMO. But I don't think most people actually just know this stuff. Someone asking a question like that in casual conversation probably could use an explanation like this.

I feel like I'm coming off a jerk here but I just think appealing to taxonomy without actually giving any background info or further reasoning is a kinda boring and only a surface level way to answer the question. It doesn't really give the asker much new insight into the topic.

You answer "ARE lizards dinosaurs" and the answer is valid. But you dont really answer the "why" part of the question (IMO). Someone without a good understanding of taxonomy wouldn't really gain anything from this answer.

To me this is just A is not B because A is not B, according to the list of As and Bs. Without actually understanding the reasoning we're just left with rote memorization.

iMO a better way to answer "Why aren't lizards dinosaurs" could be:

The classification of animals is based on shared ancestry, not just physical appearance. The reptile class split into two major groups after the Permian period:

Archosauria, dinosaurs and modern crocodile.

Lepidosauria, modern lizards.

But how do we know they split?

A distinguishing feature that sets modern lizards apart from dinosaurs is their gait. Lizards have a sprawling gait. Their legs extend out to the side of their bodies, and they move with a side-to-side motion.

Dinosaurs, on the other hand, had an upright stance, with their legs positioned directly beneath their bodies, similar to mammals.
