The up-shot of what he says here, is nothing more than to admit that science is "description" par-excellence. Ultimately there are no explanations, only more and more finer descriptions.
Science describes using metaphor - using terms 'with which you are more familiar". In the end the shit is out there. Chimps have their own internal dialogue and feel like throwing a rock at a tree every now and again. And that is as good a desription as you are gonna get.
And next time you see a kid kicking a can, or clattering a stick on the railings as he walks, are you gonna get "stumped", or are you going to accept that he's just doing if for something to do because he feels like it.
