Contact is not the same as communication and understanding of language, which is what the original commenter was referring to.

Yes, but we already communicate with orcas, and with the Sentinelese we can't communicate with them because we can't contact them. Communication and understanding of language are two different things. I have great communication with my dog, both ways.

Not really. And again, the person was referring to Sentinelese the language and not the people and thus was referring to orcas' languages.
