If the truth be told I'm sure it is mostly said tongue in cheek, but I agree that whilst we are unique it'd be foolish to see ourselves too highly above others. Honestly, I dont see any harm in suggesting "if we're so great, why haven't we gone futher"? I think that's exactly the sort of rhetoric we should be pushing. Rather than saying "wow, look how much we've achieved", I'd rather say "wow, look how much we might".
