No Firm Evidence That T. Rex Bore Feathers

The video portrayal of T. rex at https://youtu.be/DFmvJqzHW6U does not give us an accurate portrayal of T. Rex skin.

Brigit Katz, in her article T. Rex Was Likely Covered in Scales, Not Feathers, June 8, 2017, wrote the following: 

“An international team of researchers studied skin impressions taken from T. rex fossils found in Montana. They then compared those impressions to fossilized skin patches of other tryannosaurs, like the Albertosaurus, Daspletosaurus, Gorgosaurus, and Tarbosaurus. The samples represented parts of the dinosaurs’ stomach, chest, neck, pelvis, and tail, according to Ben Guarino of the Washington Post. And none bore any traces of feathers.” (The bolding of the last 7 words in this quote is by me, and was done for emphasis.)

Apparently, an earlier team of researchers, which thought that T. rex certainly had some plumage, had not studied the fossils thoroughly enough. How many more erroneous studies of fossils are there that need to be exposed, but are invoked as support by those who accept macroevolutionary theory?
