Maybe dinosaurs were intelligent. We don’t know.

There are a lot of scientific reasons that we do know roughly how smart dinosaurs are, and the answer is the smartest dinosaurs were about as smart as the dumbest modern day birds.

That we think we know. We don’t actually. We can only guess.

By that logic we don’t know anything. Don’t even know what colour shirt you are wearing.

That's not how science works. "We don't know anything," is some serious r/im14andthisisdeep material.

So feel free to share some of these scientific reasons that dinosaurs at best were as smart as the dumbest birds of today. I’ll eagerly wait.

That falls under the heading of "common knowledge". We learn about it in grade school.
You're the one making the entirely unsupported claim that dinosaurs were an intelligent civilization.

I didn’t claim that. I claimed we don’t know whether or not they were intelligent and we don’t. How could we? We weren’t there.
