They don't let children comment any more?
Used to, the old people were on telephone links from their homes and they'd have one comment prepared and the study conductor was told before the meeting to call on them for that comment. Often times, things had been covered already and discussed that made those telephone comments redundant but those old folks read out their prepared answers anyway. Kinda made you wonder if they were sleeping on the other end of the phone line for the first part of the meeting.
