Question: Has anyone ever managed to get a dog
to understand that it can see its reflection in a mirror,
and if so, did it appear to experience a great revelation
about its own existence at the instant it learned to do so?


At this point, at the risk of getting a bit personal, I have to conclude
that we have a B.S. artist and a troll on our hands who debates more
like a backwoods evangelist than a scientist, appealing to rhetoric and
semantics rather than hard data. DH has pretty much ignored my numerous
posts and the reference URLs which I have provided, and is obstinately
arguing in circles repeating the same questions which I've already
answered.

"DH" is David Harrison. He lives in or near Atlanta,
GA (not in dispute). He is uneducated. He's 46 years
old, maybe 47 by now, and does flunky work. He's a
bible-thumping Southern redneck. He doesn't know his
ass from his face.
