Only possible explanation for these responses: Elmo is the true alpha here, both Peterson and Taite were traumatized as children/teens when they came home from school one day and walked in on Elmo, fur-deep in their mum with their father huddled in the corner crying.
This is the ONLY possible explanation for raging at a children's puppet like this.
He was teaching her to count O's, and she was learning the big numbers that day. Luckily her toes were close at hand.
Metaphorically that must be how they see the situation. Elmo and the culture Elmo represents have violated the culture that Peterson and Tate try to reestablish.
