Another side issue, what is meant by 'potential'? Obviously I know what it means in a conventional sense, but I don't think it's a useful value given the importance of external influences on the personal development of any individual. In an ideal world (ie. one where absolutely every opportunity could be afforded to every individual) I would expect that individual 'potential' would be unrecognisably greater than at present, and furthermore that the difference in potential between individuals would be a far smaller fraction than it is perceived to be at present.
