I don't think that "sapience" is a meaningful concept. It does make sense intuitively, but consider the Moravec's Paradox. Human brains are powerful computers, but they are also very specialized to solve only certain kinds of tasks (that came useful during the evolution). That's why what seems simple to us has little correlation with what is actually simple to a computer. And the same is probably true to the brains of other animals, not just computers. We simply know too little about animal psychology to make such judgements.

Sapience:
ability to apply knowledge or experience or understanding or common sense and insight
or
the capacity to be self-aware

In the case of taxonomic identification, both apply. 

It's something you obviously lack.
