How is it silly? All dinosaurs would’ve had a common ancestor that was also a dinosaur, meaning anything that descended from the common ancestor of velociraptors and sauropods, including birds, is a direct descendant of dinosaurs. Phylogenetically speaking, that makes birds dinosaurs.

Ik but obviously chickens and other birds weren't DIRECT descendants of dinosaurs, that's just silly
