Note the “There is no such thing as a partially universal knowledge creator.”. That means an entity either is a UKC or it has no ability, or approximately zero ability, to create knowledge. Dogs are in the latter bucket.
That conclusion—“dogs are not UKC” doesn’t follow from the binary statement about UKC. You’re being circular here and not even in a really good way.
While you don’t provide any argument for your conclusion about the status of dogs as UKC one might make guesses. However all the guess I can make are 1) just that and have nothing to go with what you might be thinking and 2) all result in me coming to the conclusion that there are NO UKC. That would hardly be a conclusion you would want to aim at.
I would be happy to rewrite the first line to say: An entity is either a UKC or it has zero—or approximately zero—potential to create knowledge. Does that help?
Well it’s better than jumping to unsupported conclusion I suppose that should help at some level. Not sure it really helps with regard to either 1 or 2 in my response but that’s a different matter I think.
