Understood and I agree. What I’m not convinced of is that learning speed would have a compounding effect because of this. If we assume a vacuum where the only difference is learning speed than any leaps the fast learner make by combining previous knowledge would eventually be made by the slow learner. It’s just a linear control (assuming all else is the same) and subject / lesson shouldn’t matter. I could see plenty of real world impacts of course. Discouragement / encouragement due to peer comparisons, limited availability of resources like teachers, etc.
