The link is to a pdf that has unreadable text (displays as little squares instead of letters) that I assume explains the diagram which is visible but meaningless without the accompanying text. Worked fine here. Let me guess, you're trying to open it with xpdf or something like that? One of the things I hated most when I was working on Linux on the laptop was the lack of a decent PDF viewer programmer. I also recall reading several studies that support that premise, and I've no doubt that Google will find them or similar work. But, since you made the claim, it's up to you to support it. He actually did provide support and he's awaiting your response. That your PDF viewer couldn't display the file isn't really his responsibility. If you had said you believed that younger brains are more adaptable, I would not make an issue of it. But you said "It is a scientific fact that...". So prove it. I don't know if the PDF supports that assertion (I didn't read it that carefully, just a cursory glance), but it would be logical to assume it is true. Pretty much everything in our body deteriorates over time and I have no reason to believe otherwise of the brain. I also know it's common knowledge that language skills are picked up by children much faster than an old person trying to pick up a new language. That, too, would tend to support the assertion that younger brains are more adaptable. I'm really not taking a position on this particular matter, just playing devil's advocate for what seem like some kind of weak responses. Regards, Craig Steiner |
