what would a fragile sail be good for and how comes that the majority of scienists say it was not a skinny sail but more hump like?

Its possible to be a wide "sail". Why would it have a hump? And why would it have to be fragile? Iguana have spines poking back off of it that arnt ungodly tough, do they not?

YOU cant accept it, I can. I cant accept that the spines where A, a hump for holding water(does a camals hump have spines? Actual question) B, for excess large muscles when there is no place for such muscle to attach to. The sail could have been for balance or many different things. The spines could have been easily broken but not have affected the animals actual spinal column. Why do u,think it was so fragile that a simple fall would have ended its life?

I,posted all my reasoning before. No current reptile, theropod, or mammal that feeds on primarily fish has such a hump. Nor are any bones I can think of that have large muscle attached, smooth.

it was definitly not bones and a thin skin over it like it is shown in the popular media.

Well it was definitly not massive hump when it don't match Spinosaurus' lifestyle.

Maybe start looking for a new profession?? LoL

You aren't backing up anything you say. You tell everything as if it's a fact and you were there. Everyone has their theories until more proof is shown. Also what makes you think the sail is so fragile?? You seem pretty obsessed with this fragile sail and it falling on it's back.

I want proof that it had a muscle or storage type hump.

/waiting for proof from you.

The problem is that you THINK. The hump theory just don't fit with Spinosaurus when there are few factors that don't support the hump theory.

BTW you just insulted your own ego LOL

if the sail isn't fragile, then its not a sail but a fleshy hump. So?

The problem with this is there's no evidence that it has muscles over the long spines. You have to look at the muscle attrachments on the bones. Then you have to look at the lifestyle of Spinosaurus, the megafauna, the prey items and the environment and tells me why a hump doesn't fit in this theory.
