   How are we supposed to determine if you're making decisions?   
      
   But you clearly lost it. It's gone. You stopped even trying   
   to hide your mental illness!   
      
   The behavior you referenced is far from sophisticated. It's   
   less impressive than that observed in some ants.   
      
   Ants.   
      
   So pretending that Chimps make & use tools doesn't make them   
   more like us, it places them well below ants and it makes   
   tool use completely meaningless. The history of tools would   
   be unknown and unknowable, as we need to witnesses "Tools,"   
   as you misuse the term, in order to know they exist.   
      
   Also, it means that "Tools" would have to back as far as...   
      
   What?  The Cambrian Explosion?   
      
   It's just stupid.   
      
   Science is meant to tell us things about the world, nature,   
   and you're trying to enforce a "Science" where it instead   
   obscures. It lays things well beyond our means to ever   
   learn them.   
      
   Which is stupid. You're a regular Tim Walz, you are.
