Linda,

Sounds like a plausible explanation of some cases of CP, but many,
if not most are caused by birth trauma and premature birth.

An unreasonable man (but my wife says that's redundant!)

The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one
persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress
depends on the unreasonable man.
