Where exactly is the difference between "knowing your place in a hierarchy" and "knowing who is stronger and who is weaker"? Seems to me like two different ways

Where exactly is the difference between "knowing your place in a hierarchy" and "knowing who is stronger and who is weaker"? Seems to me like two different ways of expressing the exact same thing.
- thisjepisje 12y agoYeah that's true, never mind.
- asolove 12y agoThis reminds me of the statement Norvig makes at the beginning of SICP that all AI programs seem like magic until you understand how they work, when they just seem quite unimpressive. What we're learning is not so much that fish are wonderfully intelligent as that the things we take as intelligence are actually not-so-complex patterns.
