Skepticism edit

I wonder if there's a place here or on the main Minangkabau page for skepticism about the legend. The legend appears to be human-centric in the sense that it ignores the fact that the sense of smell is more dominant in animals than in humans. The story assumes a calf would be attracted to the sight of an adult's belly (or bull's penis) and somehow be oblivious to the fact that the belly did not smell of milk. Perhaps someone familiar with animal husbandry can comment. Martindo (talk) 03:23, 29 October 2013 (UTC)Reply
