A few decades ago I had a chance to see some user testing video that Apple made where they had new customers unpack and setup a Mac II. There are two things that I always remembered from that.
1) Nobody could get the tape off of the plastic that wrapped the ADB keyboard cable.
2) Quite a few people were using the mouse rotated 180 degrees, they had never used a mouse before and didn't know how to hold it, some even found the way they were holding it to be unnatural when they moved it, but kept practicing, and at the end one was so proud to announce that she "finally got the knack of it" while holding it up in her hand still rotated 180 degrees.
I suppose that if someone just started off wrong and never knew what the right way was, they would learn to use it they way that the first started and would be opposed to any change. Much like some long time Mac users have been opposed to the scrolling direction changes introduced in Lion and beyond.
In this specific situation, it could be that one of the family members first learned how to use the mouse from the other one that was using it wrong, and then continued thinking that's the correct way until it because natural.
