Thanks for pointing this out, but I fear this will not easily solve the

For instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more
intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much---the wheel, New
York, wars and so on---while all the dolphins had ever done was muck about
in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always
believed that they were far more intelligent than man---for precisely the
same reasons. (Douglas Adams, The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.)
