I read a short essay by David Brin, wherein he laments that despite all the years spent on studying dolphin language and intelligence, it's likely that we've been fooling ourselves all along.

Can't find it now, though :/

IIRC, part of that argument was that if dolphins had a language, surely the word about the dangers of getting caught in seine nets would have spread through the community.
