Sheldon, Maybe the boy spends some time outdoors, maybe he helps his
parents or goes with them, maybe he is a normal, healthy eight year
old with many things to do. Reading at an early age is the first step
to a good education. Unforrunately, if you really read as much as you
claim, it seems it did not have the same effect on your learning
ability. Many of your posts indicate that you did not get a good
education in the field of science.
