That has bothered me since the beginning also. It is very distracting 
to be always trying to dredge up a relevant experience. Although in 
the particular instance of ballpoints, I remember in second or third 
grade when we first started using ink, ballpoints were absolutely 
forbidden; since the new (1954) school building had new desks without 
inkwells, they did deign to allow us to use catridge pens.
