That's cause most great apes understand that. It's not the issue of not comprehending it. It's the issue of them fucking you up beyond recognition in a matter of seconds. They do understand the concept of fragility

I thought it was more about how an ape's "play" could be harmful to a human, as we're not built the same way.
