I find this very interesting. If I understand this correctly, the suggestions are: (1) the "slate" is relatively "blank" to start with (abstract objects, for instance, do not "exist", in the sense that they are inheritable); (2) a generic ability to abstract could very well be inheritable; (3) the "slate" remains in a "writeable" state longer than previously expected - the right "nurture" can enable the unfolding of potential abilities even relatively late in life (abstract objects can become "real", even though they don't "exist", in the sense that they can become "meaningful").
