I’m saying people with kids like this don’t go around advertising it. It’s not something that really comes up. You may know a child like this and not realize it. I’m not saying it isn’t remarkable. I’m saying I don’t think that just because you don’t know a child who reads like this doesn’t mean they can’t exist. I feel like they likely do because of experience with my prodigious little reader.

It's still at the profoundly gifted 99.999th percentile territory.  Kids like that exist, but they are so rare that it's implausible to know more than 1.  Most people won't know any kids at that 1/100,000 level of rarity.  I know a lot of kids.  Even the ones who are advanced readers and easily in the 99th percentile couldn't handle LotR until maybe 3rd grade.

It's kind of like kids who are enrolled in college at age 12.  They exist, but they're so rare that the overwhelming majority of people will not ever meet or know someone that gifted.  [/quote]
