Who's David, and what did he (or she) say? I find no expressions, eloquent or otherwise, attributed to anyone of that name in this thread.

Well, actually, "Alan Anderson," nobody needs to promote it to me because I have seen its effects with my own eyes...Clearly, the students on these particular teams were not sufficiently inspired to be bothered to even watch their robots get completed. This is not a theoretical possibility based on conjecture. This is what I have seen with my own eyes.
This is based on conjecture. You're assuming things for which you have no evidence. In your example, you see clusters of apparent adults in teams' pits late on a Thursday, and you conclude from your observation that the students were not sufficiently involved in designing and building the robots. Several other plausible "theoretical possibility" explanations of what you saw have already been proposed. Without talking to the teams you're referring to, we can't know what was actually the case.
