Technically, all animals are sentient, and many plants are too. Sentient means capable of responding to sensation. Sapient means what Issac Asimov incorrectly called sentient. I can't even tell what that first footnote is trying to prove: sentience is provable with much less than their criteria, and actual sapience requires much more (turing test if you're easy about it, turing test referring to a shared manipulatable world if you buy Davidson's arguments)
