It's wonderful to have you with us, Dr. Pepperberg! I'd read a great deal about you and Alex in the past, and was fascinated by your research.
I suppose if I had one question, it would be this. Some critics of your research with African greys consider it an example of operant conditioning rather than proof of true intelligence. Personally, I'm in your camp on this one, but what argument or evidence would you give to the contrary?
