    I agree. Everything else is merely arrogance.

    "We are the only ones that feel emotions"... "oh, in fact many animals do"
    "But we are the only tool using animals"... "oh, primates, chimps, birds and even insects do"
    "Memory"... "others too huh?"
    "Playing?"... "Dolphins? Damn"
    "Aha! Ethical code!"... "Pack animal interaction / primate groups act in a similar way as well as differing behaviour under stress"

    Other animals do have wider senses than we do, ranging from eyes that can see into IR or UV, some birds that can sense magnetism, to fish that can sense electric fields.

    An enemy that wishes to die for their country is the best sort to face - you both have the same aim in mind.
