But the problem with 'early' is that it is relative to the 
circumstances and the individual's self-determined capabilities which 
may not be accurate if they don't have the full story. Early is an 
abstract concept. It has different meaning to different people. Talk 
about not scaling! 'Early' or 'late' is the ultimate in not scaling.

Our truest response to the irrationality of the world is to paint or 
sing or write, for only in such response do we find truth.
