It needs lead too. It can't close completely, it can only reduce the process it regulates by about 80%, and it's like the difference between a partial eclipse and totality. Everything sort of runs at the same time, in a lousy way, instead of getting turned on and off as needed.

Yes, I did. The cognitive effects are devastating. The immature brains keep the high error tolerance that helps children to make sense of the world. This means that you are completely convinced that your answers are accurate, even when they are nonsense, as any problem that is below some kind of cognitive threshold simply doesn't register. You feel you have triple checked everything, and it's correct, it must be all the others who don't understand it. The entire progressivist mindset is a state of mind so infantile that it isn't normally seen, as normal children grew up from it before they acquired language. The results are catastrophic.

It should be. It has the same effect on people - they grow too much too fast, but remain immature and fragile both mentally and physically. They do hit puberty very early though.
