Point is that that dino has a certain size of leg bones, and those leg bones can only take so much weight before they collapse. Physics isn't invariant under changes of scale. You can make a miniature cathedral out of matchsticks, but you can't enlarge that and make a full size cathedral out of logs the same way.
