--with a noted behavioral observation that attaches to initial human assumptions. Over time repeated observations that result in a documented outcome will justify such assessments. But these fun little videos "hurry" that process. Still, I'm not sure why such anthropomorphizing at this early stage for these clearly "non-scientific" little videos is so problematic. They aren't intended to be scientific studies.
