Well, sometimes Jan comes off sounding a bit harsh (and he
might like to lighten his tone as Barry did with the CP-Faq...),
but I can't ever find a fault with his reasonning and logic! If
the plant is unable to "taste" and react to the "prey" by
digesting it, then I wouldn't say the plant can eat. Would you?
