    But where would the former practice come from?

    Why are wolves walking on their hind legs? Why can everyone speak a common language when their bodies aren’t physically capable of making the same sounds?

    No matter which line you choose to suspend your disbelief at, it’s an arbitrary choice 🤷‍♂️

      Walking on hind legs frees the front paws to do stuff. Makes sense to me that the idea would occur to sapient species. Drinking cups however are made to conform to human mouths and lips. I can’t see species with snouts naturally developing the type of cups we use.

      Of course it’s a matter of suspension of disbelief, doesn’t hurt to think about it though, does it? :)
