Dear Joey,
     
"Precisely, my dear Watson!", as Sherlock Holmes would have said.
     
Peter presented the philosophical point of view that one can study, collect and appreciate objects at an aesthetic level, purely for their beauty, even if some higher level of understanding is beyond reach. This means that dolphins CAN appreciate birds flying in the sky, from their own perspective.  Cheesy
