Yes I see that has been mentioned here. There must be something wrong with my brain though, 'cos this idea seems to me to be off-the-wall bonkers beyond belief. Do you *really* believe this? Really? Einstein published his first paper at the age of 22. It was on "Conclusions from the Capillarity Phenomena" - But his brain had not yet reached the stage where it "evaluates the future consequences of our actions"? Then again perhaps it was 23 year old war hero Frank Edward Young (VC)'s brain that was at fault: "On 18 September 1918 south-east of Havrincourt, France, during an enemy counter-attack and throughout intense enemy fire, Second Lieutenant Young visited all posts, warned the garrisons and encouraged the men. In the early stages of the attack he rescued two of his men who had been captured and bombed and silenced an enemy machine-gun. Then he fought his way back to the main barricade and drove out a party of the enemy assembling there. Throughout four hours of heavy fighting this officer set a fine example and was last seen fighting hand-to-hand against a considerable number of the enemy"
