I don't for a moment believe a bluegill ponders its place in the universe, any more than it might calculate the volume of water that surrounds it. It's just that for me, the debate between conditioning and learning is immaterial. I consider them to be two sides of the same coin. If an animal/fish can be conditioned, then in other words it has been taught. And if it can be taught, does that not imply some measure of intelligence?


"Forget pounds and ounces, I'm figuring displacement!"

If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1)
And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1)
Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT?
PB answer: It depends.
