It's a nice thought. But many humans aren't able to do that with each other, so it seems like a high bar for a potato.

You reminded me one of my favourite quotes:

"There is considerable overlap between the intelligence of the smartest bears and the dumbest tourists"

~ Quote by a forest ranger at Yosemite National Park, on why it is hard to design the perfect garbage bin to keep bears from breaking into it.
