If innate talent was irrelevant to Laszlo's theory

I love how psychologists, more than other scientists, are allowed to pass by huge holes in methodology. Laszlo and his daughters are not a random sample--they started off as extremely intelligent people--in fact, they belonged to the same tiny pedigree that produced Szilard, Teller and Von Neumann.

Try the experiment with ordinary people and you'll come away disappointed.
