You have provided great additional examples of potential deceitful behavior. Instinct vs. thoughtful behavior is an important distinction when it comes to judging the capability of the brain. Not sure i agree with you that it is not possible to judge the cause of an action. You can do brain scans and figure out which parts of the brain are getting activated.

Angel fish luring bait using a squiggling worm shaped fishing line - Cuckoos laying eggs in other birds nests - baby brids opening their mouths wide and chirping loudly even when they have had their fill of food (so they get even more than their siblings).. these are all examples of 'deceit'. Also the definition as you use it seems... different. If done instinctually its not deceit but otherwise it is? Is it really possible for <em>anyone</em> to judge what caused a action/reaction in any living being? I think we are much safer (in terms of not making erroneous guesses) if we define deceit purely externally (devoid of origin of action). Thoughts? experts say that deceit is something that animals can’t do.

Didn't realize that as a problem. I will correct it from the next episode. Thanks Kesava. Didn’t realize that as a problem. I will correct it from the next episode.

People like me who use RSS readers especially have a problem as there is no new information until I finish reading the "...week ending".
