I don't think we make a big enough deal over crows being so smart. They use tools. They recognize people and wage war on those they think have wronged them. They communicate to each other about which people suck, across generations, which depending on how you slice it is either an oral tradition or gossip. Either way.

I think this is a good perspective for problem solving generally - just establishing a simple (ideally effective, it not then call it naieve) standard of comparison to base further decisions off of.

Simply because it was an information poor exchange.

They gave enough detail that its clear from context what 'had to' meant.

Motherfucker you try to take my fork while I'm eating and you're going to get a stabbed hand. Are forks addicting?

Title is misleading, there is an open discussion on the topic with someone raising valid points and a clear escalation method that involves a vote from another group.

Yeah you can, though to be fair its referred to as jevons paradox because it is counterintuitive.
