Eddie insists that animals cannot paint. I told him about Koko the gorilla and elephants that paint, but he claims I am telling him made-up stories, or talking about a human named "Koko the Gorilla", or just lying. He is ADAMANT about this.
Well, don't they all paint like modern painters, not like Raffaello or Caravaggio, and wasn't Eddie's father heard to say on occasion, when visiting a museum, in front of modern/contemporary paintings that they couldn't really be called paintings? There might be room for some common ground here.
Or one could take the tack that humans are animals, as Eddie himself has pointed out to us in the past. And, for sure, as is frequently demonstrated, most humans can't paint, either!
