Wrong. You don't see that in real life because there is no other sapient species to consider. It's the default, yes, but there is no other option.

The moment you have another species, you need to distinguish. Like in your vet example. You need to distinguish, because there are multiple species. Same applies here. You need to know what species a character is. This is where the categories come in.
