        Sure thang Jerome mah man:

        There may be some aspects of the flights that resemble mere blind
diffusion.  But this is an intelligent animal, responding to changing
stimuli; the flights of such an animal will not closely resemble diffusion.

        I freely admit this is a statement of hypothesis not fact; I stand
to be corrected by fact.
