Dear tsuwm: as a said before that guy was in the enfant terrible phase. I have no idea what
he might been like when perhaps mellowed by age. But as he said many people are quite
absurd in ascribing human traits to animals. We had a cocker spaniel that when my mother
said she was going downtown, would jump up in a chair and take her car keys off the peg
and joyfully bring them to her. My mother never said that the dog could read her mind.
That would have been a pathetic fallacy.
Bellief in spiritualism is a pathetic fallacy. I cannot understand Conan Doyle's involvement in it.
