I think they wanted to return to the main conflict. Revealing that Cotterpin and Wrench disagreed was enough.
Ah, another idea. An excellant one at that.

D) It wasn't that important to the plot anway.

Well, honestly, even Dinosaurs skimped out on violence at times. I think it's a combination of lack of ability and go-ahead to do violence on a kid's show (then, anyway). It's kind of like Leader of the Pack, on Dinosaurs. We never see the packs attack Robbie and (regrettably) we never see Spike let his own pack have it either. All we get is the typical Muppety "bandaged victims" to suggest a bad fight took place.
In that case, I think it was more about time constaints than anything else.

I agree. I think it was a combination of technical constraints and a deciplined writing style designed to move the story forward.
