I would hate to be the person whose job it was to program a 486 to 
replace a bee's brain -- recognizing flowers, flying, getting angry 
and stinging people, communicating by watching other bees waggle, being 
a solid member of bee society, etc... -- whether or not we understand how 
its neurons work.  Somehow I think A* searches and frame-based KR systems 
won't cut it.  But heck, what do I know.  :)
