just because one of the savants didn't manifest his savant behaviour until around about the same time he was hit in the head does NOT mean he holds the keys to solving why people become geniuses. this is also the reason the vaccines=autism debate gets all ballsed up. correlation does not imply causation. other savants have manifested their powers during similar timeframes, so it might be coincidental. (sidenote: who lets their child get hit like that and not seek medical attention, especially when the child suffers debilitating headaches for weeks after?)
