Astounding?  Wasn't it John B Watson who said

"Give me a dozen healthy infants, well-formed, and my own specified world to 
bring them up in and I’ll guarantee to take any one at random and train him to 
become any type of specialist I might select—doctor, lawyer, artist, 
merchant-chief and, yes, even beggar-man and thief, regardless of his talents, 
penchants, tendencies, abilities, vocations, and race of his ancestors." (1930)
— John B. Watson
