You seem to have forgotten to mention with due emphasis that the childhood brain damage gets compensated for, with entirely different regions of the brain taking over function normally done by other regions of the brain. That may be prompting the reader to make fallacious conclusion that the functionality of the brain is to larger extent stored genetically than re-generated during early learning, with the same regions being used—by the learner—for same tasks due to their proximity to inputs and outputs and the long range wiring, but with little other specialization, and using the same ‘master trick’ for learning in all of those regions, with only minor variation to the parameters of the trick.
Picture a centipede; it takes very many generations of evolution to even make the coding for the genetic code to address a specific segment.
