Not sure why you think that would prove Chomsky wrong. First, languages that don't fit brains (children's or otherwise) aren't going to be spoken by humans in the first place. And second, languages that fit our brains--all 7000 of them spoken (or signed) today, as well as those that are now extinct--don't fit chimpanzees' brains. So there's something about our brains that makes it possible for us to learn language(s).
