I can remember suggesting to David during the orignal playtest that bioroids probably did something like combine an infant's speed of learning (or faster becaue the brain is even more blank) with the adult horsepower of a fully developed brain.

Mostly though it's sine qua non of the concept. TS moved bioroids from being based on fast-growth cloning so much as to assembly-from-biogenesis as a way of boosting the believability but again it's mostly about wanting bioroids in the setting.

It's s general principle that when the hardness of the science of any particular area gets wobbly it's because wiggle room was needed to make that aspect of the setting possible so as to achieve the original vison.
