    The wording is really specific and frankly misleading though technically true in what it seems to be claiming.

    It is technically possible for brains that had something go wrong to develop language competency in the right hemisphere’s real estate as long as the person was young enough.

    But it is absolutely wrong in portraying this as if the two hemispheres aren’t functionally different in practice (even if not in potential).
