Of course not but like I said, it is food for thought and the idea that different "Dragons" can exist. Akatosh is called a Dragon, he is not, he is Aedra. Tosh Raka is a supposed Dragon, he is not, he is Ka Po' Tun. Dragonlings are called Dragons, they maybe aren't, they are Dragonlings. Also to quote myself when I was defending lore in Arena and Daggerfall:

"All lore needs to be accepted, old or new it is all created to be the back-story of the series. Take being a Historian in real-life, there are Indians and Red Indians, they were misinterpreted to be the same but they are different races of people. You don't say Red Indians never existed and it should all be ignored. Also it isn't too confusing, you can still call Narzuro (Nait's character in an RP who is a grown up Dragonling) a Dragon. Both species are called Dragons so it works."

The point to pick out there is when I mention Indians and Red Indians, I am not sure if anybody here is a Historian or merely like History but Red Indians were called that because when they were first found Christopher Columbus thought they were Indians. Going back in to the ES Universe I believe this is what happened with Dragonlings. Of course there is the problem of Dragonlings being in Highrock when Akavir is east of Tamriel so remnants of Dragons would probably be to the east. Perhaps Dragonlings were named by an adventurer who went all over Nirn who saw the Dragons of Akavir and went west to find the Dragonlings and he thought they were the exact same due to him being unsure of what continent he is in due to the sphere shape of Nirn which would be confusing to a person of the Mythical Era or First Era.
