Scientists claim they've had a 20 minute conversation with a WHALE

A conversation will take place if we can actually exchange information with a whale. Emitting noises that animals respond to with unintelligible noises of their own does not count as a conversation. We know whales are very intelligent, and I'm sure some form of conversation may be possible some day, but this isn't it.

Indeed! Goes along with hype about planets in the "habitable zone."
