The Jurassic park view of Rex was always pretty silly, in more ways than one.
Largest olfactory chamber in recorded dinosaurs. Can't smell prey two feet from its nose.

He also gave the 'vision based on movement to triceratops which is hilarious. Unless the fern moves, it is safe!

I suppose one could speculate just about any which way the wind blows. No one knows.

And I really don't care enough to argue about it. Because I don't know and can't know.
