To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to articulate Sue's femur. The lamellar morphology is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of iliofibular musculature most of the measurements will go over a typical researcher's head. There's also Tyrannosaurus' ontogenetic variation, which is deftly woven into its osteological morphology - Sue's distomedial condyle is primarily homologous to the maniraptoriform epipodial tuber, for instance. The experts understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these processes, to realise that they're not just plesiomorphic - they say something deep about diagnostic characters. As a consequence people who dislike Sue femur scaling truly ARE idiots - of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the allometry in Sue's robust insertion of "m. adductor magnus," which itself is a cryptic derivative of Norian coelophysoids' distal fourth trochanter in partim. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as graphic double integration of tyrannosauroids unfolds itself in their journal subscriptions. What fools... how I pity them.

And yes, by the way, I DO have a FMNH PR 2081 tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.
Nothin personal kid.
