there's lots of evidence of this sort of thing. early settlers in the
American west found bison running up to frozen lakes and then sliding
across the ice. they'd do it over and over again. otters play, dogs
dream, parrots have been very frequently reported formulating new
sentences with their limited vocabularies.

that doesn't necessarily invalidate the functional perspective, though.
