That's what I said :) >(My comment) And as far as I can tell, there's really no way to know right? I mean we assume humans are conscious (for obvious reasons), but can we prove even that? With animals we mostly reason by analogy, right? And then you reasoned by analogy. And maybe that's the best we can hope for! "If human (mind) shaped, why not conscious?"
