Correct. How is transfer left out? just stated that it is the secondary means of ownership acquiring.
I was just regurgitating something I read not long ago, which was backed up by long discussion, and I believe it's the premise of praxeology with respect to ownership, so thought I'd throw it out there (barge into your convo).
I overlooked the transfer part, sorry.
Yeah no worries. Just thought I might have read a good reply to your point recently so decided to share.

After some cursory web search the title alone of "The Great Fiction" by Hans-Hermann Hoppe also appears to tackle the action and reaction, or evaluation issue pretty head on.
