I agree with bitbutter and Duff. To suggest Vanity at these levels just doesn't seem to fit. One thing to consider is that there are many different levels of consciousness. Some primitive levels and some advanced. What is actually being gleened by the mirror test is probably too complex and/or subjective/ancectdotal to have an oversimplified explanation.
I like the article though. And I love Carl Sagan.
