Hmm...
Upon some more reflective contemplation on chapter 10 where he works out that animal intelligence can be explained without the theoretical construct of concepts (or designator), how can bears maintain positions (and inventories) of items in their vast territory without positing some type of mental abstraction? At some point the complexity of the behavior reaches a point where a perceptual intelligence isn't enough to explain it. At the moment, I'm only speaking anecdotally.
