I still have to disagree. Chris Fergusson [U]was [/U]born with an aptitude to maths as LeBron James was a natural athlete. Yes, education and practice honed those skills but they were there to begin with. You cannot take an average Joes and make them a Chris Fergusson or quite obviously, a LeBron James.

In fact, the way to have some perspective on this is to lower the bar so to speak. A person born with special talents (be they mental or physical) can rise to the top in whatever field they excel in. You can then indulge in the 'nature or nurture' debate.

However, what no body ever does is impose that same logic on the  [U]less inintelligent[/U]. Even if you gave a markedly unintelligent person the best education there would be zero expectation for them to become brilliant. People would accept their limitations. It would be regarded as the natural order of things. We are not born equal (mentally or physically) and therefore our potential in life is generally limited to one degree or another.
