Yes, certainly! Many types of brains with certain defects can use other skills to overcome them. The odd thing is that doesn’t always work, even in brains with high general intelligence.

Shouldn’t the latter part imply that the intelligence isn’t that general?
Alternatively, it could imply that the intelligence isn’t that high.
Does this count as “acquiring high level skills in unrelated areas”?

My point is that general intelligence (especially at the lower level) may not be a very efficient substitute for narrow intelligences in many domains.
