I don't understand how this isn't accurate. Even with your definition:

A. Not a person.

B. Not courageous because they have no idea what they are doing.

C. Noble qualities aren't in evidence because all the rats know is that the sniff a field and get treats.

That’s a wilfully unsophisticated view of language though.

In what way? I'm considering the qualities of a hero from the given definition and arguing that they don't apply to bomb defusing rats and it's therefore wrong to call them heroes. I can't imagine how that's unsophisticated.

You failed to heed the meaning of the term "or" (!)

Doesn't that alone disqualify your rebuttal?
