Thank you for your reply to my point.
I might just as well argue that the Cambrian explosion was more complex due to animals we have not yet found. But it seems best to stick with what we have, and to make any conclusions based on that. I would add that Namacalathus hermanastes is debatable, as demonstrated by its being debated here and elsewhere.
Which is why I posted a quote by Meyers saying that the timeframe can be extended by 10 million years or so, and still the conundrum remains.
Fair enough...

It also extends the time available for that diversification.
And, by identifying a common ancestor for different groups, we can better recognize which changes were actually required, and which novel features predated the explosion.
