The sentence:

I worked with my thesis adviser, developmental
psychologist Elliot Turiel, to offer children
hypothetical scenarios and ask questions. If a team
captain has to fetch a runaway ball for their team to
stay in a tournament, should they do it even if it means
ignoring the fact that a little kid is being bullied
nearby? Younger children focused on getting the ball, but nine- or 10-year-olds were more willing to violate
a convention—the obligation to take care of the team
by retrieving the ball—to help the bullied child. As one
student said, “Someone could get hurt, and even
though you don’t win anything, it’s still good to see
that human beings don’t fight.”

My question is: considering also the fact that the speaker is a 9- or 10-years-old child, how do you read the verb "to see" in the last sentence? As plain "observe" (perception: as in "I see a pretty flower") or as "assure" (action: as in "Please see that you're all here on time tomorrow")?

To me it's the second, but I'd like to have some native speakers' opinion (but everybody is welcome, of course).
