Is this guy serious? Thinking

Well, Pentacostals all over the world howl and spasm in much the same way. So I think indeed "Pentacostals see, Pentacostals do", without any understanding or adaptability.

But monkeys and chimps clearly can adapt what they learn to their local environment. So unlike pentacostals, "Monkey see, Monkey do better". Which ultimately is what we had imaged to be the thing that differentiates humans with capacity for progress from mere imitative animals.
