SORRY FOR clumsy header, but I may improve it! In any case, just to reconsider briefly Grice's THREE criteria that a guideline may have (as it may apply to a 'very intelligent, rational' parot -- oops, pirot -- as the bee (drone) is not.
Applicational.
--- For Grice guidelines go by Three Criteria:
applicational: a guideline applies to ALL specimens
formal
conceptual
---
While Grice allows that physiological instantiables of behavioural traits may vary from time to time in a specimen of a species, one wonders, then. I would postulate, along with Grice, 'applicational' universalisability as pretty basic.
Note that Grice is strict here that this relates to 'universalisability'. The type of pigeon-holing that bee-hiving (sorry for ugly metaphors, but it _is_ late) seems to entail seem to be explicitly rejected in our (at least Grice's and mine) thinking on these issues?
