I'm not sure whether this is a matter of definitions, or just of YGWV, so:
If they're not human, that would mean that, should they break their restrictions, they can never become human, just a Brithini-who-happens-to-be-ageing? (In the same way that a dwarf who starts ageing doesn't become a human).
And, if they're born that way, why do they need to be trained to act like Brithini - wouldn't it just come naturally to them? (In the same way that a human doesn't need to be trained to feel sexual desire, it just comes naturally to them when they get old enough).
