I must be missing your mark, Bob. I see a difference between being
involved with my swinging a hammer, and my observing someone else --
baby or otherwise -- sucking a treat (or anything else). The experiences
I have are mine. The experiences you have are not mine. There is no way
I can know your experience as a baby. And there is no way I can know my
experience as a baby. I can only presume. I'm not sure where the
difference between us on this point might be, unless you are referring
to the idea that I know as Dasein that other Dasein are like me in their
Daseining. But I'm not sure this would apply to a baby either, who shows
no particular signs of Daseining.
