"...Man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins
because he had achieved so much - the wheel, New York, wars and so on -
whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having
a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they
were far more intelligent than man - for precisely the same reasons."
