I don't think that's entirely Fair. Anything you learned at a young age you're going to have more potential in. If you were introduced to X as a kid, you have years of doing or practicing X that someone else will never have, and those years come when your brain is still developing.

In my area the schools are providing computers at a young age and spending time teaching STEAM topics, for example. It's not going to make everybody into Nikola Tesla, but the effort to do something about it does exist.
