Nonsense, of course it is. I'm raising bilingual children and every one of them has developmental delays. Of course the plural of anecdote is not data, but as a result I've been quite motivated to keep up with the research. My fam

There is a much reduced and heavily edited sequence on quantum mechanics in the ebook. I have not yet read the ebook version and can't tell you how they differ, but the editor did state upfront that it was one of the sections which cha
