Why is it polite to assume non concious entities are conscious?


How do you know they are non-conscious?

If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck...

For example, I'm assuming you're conscious, because you posted a reply that was on-topic and coherent with the conversation above it.
