Tasting... Or smelling? I can't decide.

Smelling is the least developed of the human's five senses, therefore it's the most useless one.

Tasting, however, is sometimes inconvenient. Without it, I would be able to eat ANY food no matter how bad it tastes.

yes but you'd have no general idea of where the fire is without leaving the room you're in
because you have no sense of touch you can't feel the door knob or anything you'd just walk out the door

then again
if you lost a sense like touch your other sense would probably adapt to that and make up for it

ok then. hey i need to escape this burning building. let me just open this door to get out of the room im in. congratulations. because you lack a sense of touch you were unable to feel that the door handle was scorching and now you have grabbed it and given yourself third degree burns

DragonOfTime: More viable methods of poison detection are available. Only an idiot would determine that by way of taste.

'there a lot of toxic gases that you can smell....'

yes but toxic gases aren't something you'll encounter daily whereas you're likely to encounter many sharp objects in your kitchen and many potentially dangerous substances in your medicine cabinet

also to the guy that said 'LET ME JUST TASTE THIS PLANT' the point of the sense of taste is so that if you accidentally ingest something very bitter it activates all your poison defense systems (eg your gag reflex first, probably) so that you can expell the poison before it does any lasting damage and while obviously you shouldn't eat poisonous plants if you don't have an expert with you and you have to know immediately then the only sense that will help you is taste because humans dont have a sense of smell good enough to work out if its poisonous or not

@baua

in most toxic gases you need to breathe a good amount of it. if you can smell it it could save your life

'DragonOfTime: More viable methods of poison detection are available. Only an idiot would determine that by way of taste.'

again sense of taste is a DEFENSE mechanism not a detection mechanism
sense of hearing and touch won't help you so let's go through the other 2 options
sight - unless it's labelled then you certainly won't be able to know if it's definitely poisonous
smell - unless the poison is very potent then you won't be able to tell if it's poisonous AND going around sniffing poisons is hardly a better idea than tasting them

none of your senses will help you detect poisons you need a lot more than your senses to detect poisons, however out of all of them only your sense of taste and possibly your sense of touch will actually send out the signals to say 'the body is now in danger'

Since there are more than 5 senses, I'd like to lose one of the oft-forgotten ones, the chemoreceptor trigger zone.

DragonOfTime: Nonsense. In your former response, you suggested that taste is used for detection.

"the point of the sense of taste is so that if you accidentally ingest something very bitter it activates all your poison defense systems..."

so hence it is a defense system?? all you're doing now is saying 'yeah but you vaguely IMPLIED something else in a different post therefore you're wrong and i'm right'
