just current thinking because at the time other factors such as
intelligence in infants was thought to be limited. 

OPINION

It's a phenomenon known as "amateur scholarship," based more on opinion
that scientific research. It's particularly common in the "hobby" and
"collecting"  fields.

BTW I own Ferwerda's book and have found it useful, and, at times, even
interesting.
