I literally said "as far as we understand the term." Sentience, sapience, and consciousness are not interchangable terms; they have vastly different meanings.
We as humans and as we have defined the terms do not label any other species as conscious as we currently understand the term. Conscious is currently a uniquely human trait. It's not my decision, it's just what we know.
