Confused

The following paragraph seems to contradict itself with respect to new vertrebrae in the neck (or am I reading it wrong)

In sauropods, great neck length was achieved by a combination of three processes: incorporation of back vertebrae into the neck; addition of new vertebrae; and lengthening of the individual neck vertebrae. The long neck of Miragaia appears to have resulted mostly from back vertebrae becoming incorporated into the neck, based on vertebral counts of other stegosaurians. There is currently no evidence that new vertebrae contributed to the neck. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.3.197.249 (talk) 02:01, 6 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
