As to the question of whether a child of Seymour's age could be as "smart" as
he seems to be... John Stuart Mill had mastered Greek as well as Plato by
age 7, so one would be safe in assuming he was also quite proficient at
English. Just an example...
And I don't think a larger brain means smarter, necessarily... There have
been cases where people have lost half of their brains and still reasoned on
a higher level than some individuals with larger whole brains. I guess it
all depends on how you define "Smarter". I would define it by content, not
capacity.
