Notice how I said normal, not realistically achievable for SOME children.
SOME real children wrote symphonies at 5.
Star Trek kids are all prodigies compared to very smart real world kids.
(Basic calculus was far easier than I ever thought. But that's only after having learned basic algebra, trigonometry, cyphering, etc. I remember reading that people can't think in pure abstract manner until around 12 anyway.)
