The other side

A Rat grows faster whereas an elephant grows slower. However a rat lives for a year but elephant goes on to score hundred. In a lab scientists with vested interests study the mice and not elephant as the complete life cycle is available at a short span which offers plenty of opportunity to scientists at a fairly low costs.

Its fair and well understood on part of scientist to praise Rats for  being the perfect model.  If Rat could understand the language then perhaps the meaning would all together be in a different dimensions.

DS, observed one similar case where Rat understood the praising words but not the meaning. Rat began believing that it was superior than the rest and challenging all other creatures or undermining them became norm.

There is a famous saying that "Dogs keep barking but elephants just move on". They offer no threat to them and so elephants reluctance to respond to barks is natural. However, if Rat were to squeak and bigger animals continued to refuse to respond, then it can certainly annoy a new supreme creature!

Rat went back to scientist and complained that all other creatures should respect his supremacy !! But how is that even possible for a scientist to explain the meaning. Its well known in engineering that if receiver is kept too close to transmitter than source just keeps transmitting and corrupts the incoming frame. Rat is no different and in absence of anything to transmit it received certain pulses and decoded the meaning with whatever intelligence it had. Now that it understood something and began using the antenna for transmitting, there is no going back and that complicates any inflow of  knowledge.

Anything which this Rat can perceive now is gong to take a whole lot of time. An artificial  problem created just because of ignorance of Scientist to make statements without understanding the complication in advance.
