The scenario descibed in the article isn't children challenging a non conformist for stepping out of line, or using a non standard technique, the children are correcting, perhaps helping, someone who appears to be getting something completely and utterly wrong.

Children teach others. They are learning through the teaching process.

Indeed. The lead author expresses surprise that rural children are more likely to intervene. That's exactly what I'd expect.

Exactly. They’re mimicking how they were taught. My 3yo is all about “let me show you” because that’s exactly what we say when we teach him something/how to use a new toy. When a guest comes over, it’s his turn to show off his new toy and teach them how to use it.
