Give it up. You're headed into an epistemological black hole. You will not get non-empirical data admitted into the data set. We like our data set the way it is, thank you very much. We have trimmed off everything without a biological etiology and we do not need it. If we can find a biological etiology for it we will resuscitate it and dub it "data". We will copy you on the memo if that should happen.

We decided centuries ago there was no way to think about thinking or qualities or values or cultural characteristics without letting the metaphysical camel's nose under the tent. (Except to find a biological etiology. We will copy you on the memo should that happen.)

And we do not believe the camel should be allowed to exist. He is not domesticated.
