So a puppy that eats rawhides will most likely be more apt to chew on other things, thinking that if she chews them long enough they too will become tasty.

Well, I guess we'll have to agree to disagree on this. During my dogs
puppy stages I would give them anything safe to chew on (even rawhides)
till they outgrew the puppy teething stage. Smokey was such a bad chewer
that he would actually walk around the house with his mouth open. He looked
like a crocodile on the hunt. Most dogs outgrow that stage of intense chewing.
