Please do some research into developmental psychology. Babies are far, far more sophisticated than you seem to believe.



Please have a baby and report back first-hand observations. Yes, they're far, far more sophisticated than most (all?) humans can comprehend, but they're also completely incapable for multiple months after birth. This isn't unexpected, human babies are born at what would still be mid-late gestation in almost any other mammal.

That quote about how "the only intuitive interface ever devised was the nipple"? Turns out there's still a fair bit of active training required all around to even get that going. There's no such thing as intuitive, only familiar.


Have you ever seen a human baby attempt to hide upon birth? No? Thought so.
