It should be clearly inferred if I'm invoking deception tactics that I'm not talking about "simple insects". But that is still a large number, out of 925,000 species.

The connection you're supposed to make here is they still don't exhibit the level of consciousness and intelligence you had been purporting. I don't see why octopi should be any different.
