[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fine, I'll grant you that some researchers think there might be more than 1-in-1.1 million who are PG, but surely you'll acknowledge that the number is extremely small, right?  The very next sentence on the webpage (which you omitted) says that: "[i]Even the most generous over-prediction would affirm that exceptionally and profoundly gifted children comprise a tiny minority even among the gifted.[/i]"  Can we compromise on the rough estimates by agreeing that there likely will be one PG student in the greater DC area, not every 28 years as my math suggested, but rather every 14 years (twice as frequently!) to account for the belief of some researchers that profound giftedness might be more common?  Given the extreme rarity of the odds in either event, I don't want to argue over the specifics.[/quote]

No, I will compromise on the rough estimates because I actually know several PG, with verified scores. You may not believe it (and who would, since I'm an anonymous poster), but it's true.
