Right, but the experiment results would suggest that those kind of things DID affect the end decision.
No information is supplied on who "needs" the crayon more. Given that situation, I find it crazy that anybody would suggest the user has a greater right than the owner. The adults seem to be taking the "possession is nine tenths of the law" reasoning, which is shocking to me. I consider THAT the most simplistic view of a situation, and I had always assumed small children would be the most likely to use it.
