You may have a valid point, the outcome of the book was primarily
the decision of the author, but, he put forward valid reasons as to
why the primer worked or failed in each girls case, reasons that are
relevant to this discussion.
Nells Primer worked mainly because the woice-actor that read the
words/answered her questions was consistant (Miranda?) and therefore
built up a rapport with Nell.
Consistency is an underlying part of effective storytelling.
The other girls primers didn't work as well because one primer had
different voice actors, and the other primer just had recordings of
the girls father.
