I'm saying that it's an uninitiated person's first response to consider them as dragons purely at face-value, and getting indignant about a very simple and inconsequential tidbit is absurd. I'm not saying that they are dragons, nor am I trying to redefine it as such, simply put: all of the landmarks of the epitomal dragon are there and there is reasonable cause for people to consider it as such. Complete and total accuracy isn't important in conversation, understanding is; he said "dragon" and you knew what he was talking about, even though it's not correct, the message was received and understood.
It wasn't my intention to come off as dismissive towards what you have in mind for the species, and I didn't intend to come across as if I were giving you attitude. it isn't worth getting worked up about because it distracts from the conversation at large, but I need to address it because I feel that such a negative response is unwarranted.
Though I will state clearly to alleviate any doubt: I have no intention of getting into an argument, most of my input is given at face-value and is in no way intended to attack one's sentiments, ideas, or reputation; in addition to this, I prefer to make observations rather than stating my own opinion.
something looks a tad off in the overall shape and placement of facial features, I grabbed a handful of references that may be helpful.
in green is a literal interpretation based on the information provided solely in the sprite and the sprite only.
