>> Unless the downvotee was born with an inherently sound understanding

This part? I meant "was born" as made the jump from being a fetus to being a baby, not "borne" in the sense of being carried, although I guess that works in a bit more poetic sense.

(Also thanks for the comment either way, always happy for feedback and corrections)

Whoops, did you edit that? I could swear I read "the downvote" rather than "downvotee", but then it doesn't make sense in context anyway. Brain fart, I guess, sorry.
