what things count when you slay enemy commander and receive/not receive his items?

there is a section about that in the manual :
page 18 loot :
the power of the item determines the chances of finding the item ( research level counts for that not magic paths levels ) .
according to the manual artifacts and cursed items are almost always found .
furthermore they state that the items are found by a random commander on the winning side .

interesting :
afaik you can't remove a cursed item right ?
is there any cool use of that ?
perhaps when your enemy has a nonimmortal sc pretender could you send a scout to battle with him with 2 eyes of aiming ?
the pretender should find them and be BLIND hehe .
then he has to chose whether staying blind or losing 1 in all his paths
if you are already winning this could be great for humiliating your opponents
