Try thinking of it this way DD, if a squirrel eats 'cause it's hungry, hunger is
a reason for eating. It's very much a terminological issue. Apart from this I didn't find much that was enlightening.
If the squirrel needed to ponder it over, instead of having been born with the instinct, by the time it logically deduced that eating would alleviate the discomfort it would likely be too late. It took several tens of thousands of years before homo sapiens sapiens started to formalize the inference rules of logic. Yet, if people hadn't been naturally making an intuitive use of logic long before Aristotle, we wouldn't have survived. It's what we had instead of other things.
After saying in the other thread that these things would be better discussed here than there I took a look here, that's why you got the response you did get during a month. Your reply came on the first day of my break.

I had absolutely no doubt Buffy, that you're far too smart to let such things bother you!!!
