The others have explained it better than I ever could, but I’d like to add that I haven’t even checked whether Napoleon fails the Bechdel test. I’m reasonably certain that the Ulvæus test is bullshit, because I just made it up.
The original sentence is consistent with the assertion that the mountains had formed before the first boney ancestors of dinosaurs evolved. This is also consistent with the presented timeline.
The correction would mean that the mountains may be older or younger than dinosaurs, because they are only older than bones, and the article is deafeningly silent on the issue of whether dinosaurs had bones.
It’s a failure of literacy on the poster’s part, hence the downvotes.
Maybe, this sentence, out of context. The rest of the post makes it abundantly clear that the ages of these things go:
mountains -> bones -> dinosaurs
The poster may either be a victim of Poe’s Law, in which case their “joke” wasn’t very funny, or they could be making the logical deduction as you describe but as a mistake. I thought it was the latter.
