Maybe it's been taken down because it reeks of bad linguistics and bad anthropology. Not to mention the obvious that being good at counting doesn't make one good at academic subjects. I studied math and didn't see a number larger than 10 after I got my BSc.

The OP was mentioning about how easy is for kids to acquire/improve their maths skills if counting is made easier by the language itself. That probably doesn't correlate that well with those kids' academic performances 15 or 20 years later, but that was not the point.
