As Douglas Adams said in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy:
It is an important and popular fact that things are not always what they seem. For instance, on the planet Earth, 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.
It's the kind of nutty thing I find myself wanting to believe, just because it would make the world a more interesting place.
