It's the same problem for women learning to drive as it is for them learning maths, physics, new languages etc. They don't do it until they are fully grown so it is impossible to do well [as well as if they had learned at the right age]. Perversely, to improve safety, around the world the age for learning to drive is going UP. In fact, people should be learning to drive at younger ages. I got my licence the day I turned 15 and I had to sit on cushions to see over the steering wheel. Driving becomes intuitive and safe. Safety comes from attitude and good attitude is available in young people. You can't teach an old dog [or woman] new tricks. Mqurice PS: Yes, I know about "plasticity" of brains and life-long learning. That's trivial and more of a gap filler than a new structure building process.
