\"Please note that all sapient beings are sentient, but not all sentient beings are sapient.\"

Philosophical zombies could be sapient but not sentient. A fictional being like a robot might count as a philosophical zombie if the author described it that way.

This is more of an observation, though. I don\'t propose changing it. I think that warning as it is is such a good LieToChildren that it\'s better than a confusing more detailed and technically correct explanation.
