To continue with your dog for a moment...
Let's say that long ago you created a dog (I don't know how) and it did indeed have the ability to make you lunch. In fact, it was a gourmet chef. All it had to do was make you lunch each day and enjoy your company. You gave him a simple recipe to follow. Your dog decided to get 'creative' and he began to look for ways to modify your simple lunch recipe. You warned him that if he did this, his brain would suffer a cognitive reduction and he would no longer be able to cook at or follow a recipe. He did it anyway and then he started reproducing. The puppies, instead of being born with the ability to cook, were born stupid. The obligation to cook lunch was still there but they were too stupid to do it. The first created dog had been the representative for all his offspring and through him, the inability to cook, the judgment and guilt for the transgression were passed on.
I'll stop there because there's always the danger of trying to make an analogy walk on four legs. (Ruff!)
