As you start to list properties that the animal lacks to justify eating them, you begin to realize that some humans also lack those properties, yet we don’t eat those humans. Is this logical proof that killing and eating animals for food is immoral? Don’t put away your steak knife just yet.
In Eat Meat… Or Don’t, we examine the moral arguments for and against eating meat with both philosophical and scientific rigor. This book is not about pushing some ideological agenda; it’s ultimately a book about critical thinking.

To me the statement is so loaded with internal problems, I label it as incoherent. |

I'm not surprised to see such a potentially dismissive non sequitur on Quora, having misspent hours and hours looking at many questions and answers there over the past 2 years. I do enjoy some sorts of contention and would ask you to provide a link to the Quora question that contained this answer, so I could read it in context and see what point the answerer was trying to make. On the topic, we all can agree that many questions do not have answers, but the pseudo-wisdom about answers having questions may simply variations on argument from ignorance or merely irrelevant. The single most significant critique I would make is that answers cannot be necessarily reversed to imply that a question can be induced by knowing a statement of an answer. For example, the famous answer from "Hitchhikers Guide" is 42, which might be an answer from 6x7, and might be an answer from a question about the number of blue marbles left when 58 red ones are removed from 100 mixed red/blue bag of marbles, or the number of giant black holes in the center of the galaxies within 1500 light years. On Quora, it might even be an answer to a homework problem. It could even be a misconstrued generalization about the math problems which are so hard to solve using computer analysis, the time needed may not be within practical time limits (a P-type problem). As I understand it, if such a problem did have an answer, perhaps by luck, it's correctness is easily verified and when that happens, the problem is called "NP" In either case, though, the problem or question has to be defined beforehand and having an answer does not lead to any unique question. I would enjoy seeing the question/answer in context.
