Ah, the slaying of a beautiful hypothesis by one little ugly fact... :-D
I do feel speciesism is perfectly fine.
Same here, I think speciesism is a fine heuristic here and now (it may not be so in the future).
If it's a heuristic, then it's not speciesism.
If it's a "heuristic" that overrides lots of evidence, then it's speciesism. Which is just another way of saying that you aren't performing a Bayesian update correctly.
