Assuming the manner the rice was left followed the requirements laid out 
in the protocol and your brother did not introduce and potentially 
confounding conditions (e.g., the protocol did not specify that it was 
BS specifically who had to feed the mice, the amount and condition the 
rice was left in was correct, he didn't jump around the room), from a 
experimental standpoint were not the requirements of the protocol were 
realized even if that was not your brother's intent? I believe this is 
what matters from those who would use OBI, since  operationally I would 
not handle the results of the experiment any different than if you fed 
the mice (again since there was a proper application of the  protocol, 
even if that was not the intent).
