This whole part of thread keeps reminding me of Douglas Adam's famous quote:

more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much€”the

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.€�
