Yes exactly. It's the dismissal of potential ethical concern of something we actually have no clue what it's capacity for suffering is. I know that thoughts exist because I think them. Does a bee or a worm or a rat or a pigeon have thoughts? Maybe. Can we realistically even find out? We can't ask. Does that make it ok to kill it torture or harm? Probably not.
