I'm not the one arguing for dividing this up into distinct areas, my whole point was to just look at the relevant criteria and nothing else. If the relevant criterion is temperature, you get a gradual scale for your example. If it is sentience, you have too look for each individual animal separately and ignore species boundaries for that.
Right, you're the one arguing for complete continuity in the species space and lack of boundaries between species. Similar to the lack of boundary between cold and hot water.
I'm confused. You seem to think it's useful to sit by an anthill and test each individual ant for sentience..?
I think "animal" was used in the sense of "kind of animal" here.
