Although none of these behaviours necessarily require sentience, they are often proposed as evidence of animal sentience because of their subjective correlates in humans.

Entities in the same semantic neighborhood but without a typed relation to this one — candidates for new edges or unrecognized duplicates.

• That animal sentience is inferred on the basis of some likeness to humans is ultimately an intuition.claim0.863
  Claim that the basis for inferring animal sentience is intuitive, not empirical.
• If felt states in humans and other animals are always inferred, why is the same leap from observable behaviour to inferred sentience not afforded to other organisms, including plants?question0.827
  Central question of the commentary; challenges the double standard in attributing sentience.
• Behavioural patterns associated with subjective experiences in humans are considered valid for inferring cognition in non-human animals but not in diverse other systems including plants.claim0.826
  The double standard pointed out by S&C and endorsed by the authors.
• All attributions of cognition, including sentience, are always inferred on the basis of embodied behaviours, including verbal self-report in humans.claim0.822
  Stronger version: all cognition attributions rely on observable behavior.
• all attributions of cognition (i.e., mental actions), including sentience, are always inferred on the basis of embodied behaviours, including verbal self-report in humans.quote0.815
  Critical verbatim statement highlighting the universal inference basis of sentience.
• Verbal reports, homology, and phylogenetic provenance are insufficient to determine sentience in unconventional agents.claim0.813
  Core claim: Turing test and brain homology fail for synthetic, AI, and radically non-human agents; new frameworks required.
• If behaviour is the window to sentience, evaluation criteria must focus on observable response patterns without reference to the means by which they are produced.quote0.812
  Key prescriptive statement supporting the system-agnostic approach.
• What degree of concern and care should we exhibit toward the many diverse agents around us, and what criteria do we use to identify sentience, capacity for suffering, and other properties that have moral implications?question0.806
  Central question motivating the paper.
