I do see how it is more relatable, but I myself find it interesting to think about how aliens would think about things and the cultures that could arise from different thought processes.

Also, if they got to other planets I'm sure they would have made ways of protecting themselves. I do see how having it over more time would decrease the sentience quotient, but to them it would just be like how our speed is to us.

By the way, for the sake of organisation should we make a few changes to the actual definition of plant so that we can have plant species that aren't in the system of Sol? Otherwise we would have to make another set of creature definitions when they are so close to just simply being "plants".
