I fail to see your point. The question was, what could be given to an IQ 6+ entity that would make it less than sapient. I answered "Bestial and in the other direction Cannot Learn". That many things that are not sapient can learn does not seem relevant to whether lacking the ability to learn might disqualify a being from being sapient.
