> I don't really have a conversation with the bacteria infecting a wound Could it be because you know they won't reply? That's the case with most animals. Talking to a random dog or cat (relatively intelligent creatures) and knowing they don't understand a thing you say just kind of makes it pointless. Of course they'll understand simple universal body actions and react, but nothing more. If there was a bacteria or a cat who would reply back, or at the very least clearly understand what I'm saying, I'd be happy and amazed, and definitely would want to continue talking to them.
