Argot Navis

This story is pretty interesting. It doesn't seem that surprising to me, but it's still a cool read. What did surprise me, though, was this line:

“She said that the sensitivity of the human nose was not vastly inferior to many other creatures.”

Was that the assumption most people had going in? I mean, we aren't bloodhounds, but I don't think I would have said our noses were vastly inferior to those of many other animals before I read this.
