On this day, or even the day before this day, from the Powers of BabbleSpeak, unproscribe by me for you, I award you the following. Babblespeak Combat Medal with coveted "say what?" Cluster Enter a classroom of any top tier university, graduate studies, philosophy & psychology, discover the ratio of men to women, itemize the strength and weakness of each sex, then you will know that what you said is true, but conditional as in time. "She has an edge on..." Using that saying most all have heard, as follows. "The maturation rate, or cycle, of a girl is greater than that of a boy." Is this true or false is an answer to a invalid question. A silly example, being less silly that the question asked for above, but it can deliver a clue to a question that should be asked. a boy and a girl same age, between 5 and 10 first grade to fifth grade lets say they are brother and sister twins, born together the girl grows faster than the boy girl is 1 inch taller being higher she can see more of the world than her brother or sometimes the reason to develope faster can in itself arrest or prevent a later development when one who developed not in a fast manner does not have that element and what seemed like a turtle & rabbit race a water pond or stream or ocean was reached "in the race" or simple growth in life, aka living and the rabbit reached waters edge and stopped and later the turtle reached the water and swam across.
