I could easily see an int 3 character not knowing an orc from a half orc, for example.  Perhaps mistaking a troll for an orc in bad lighting -- all the common sense in the world doesn't make you a zoologist (xenologist?) - if you can't reason out enough traits to differentiate between taxa, you're SOL.  (spotting all these things is great, but if you have the memory of a slug it won't help much unless you have a pad to jot it all down on...)Many of the above posters are dragging philosophy into the discussion; whether or not one assumes green+big+teeth = bad is more of a way of looking at the world than fact or fiction.that is, until it swings the club at you -- then you know.</blockquote>
