This is the exact reason that we will always have an adult at the strategy session and in most cases on the drive team.
and since, at least during my observations of the process, it is usually an adult coach from a team that tells their allaince partners what to do (rather than discuss it), this is the exact reason that we always allow only students on our drive team.
