Any academic evidence. Neurological etc? That proves or shows a max capacity of knowledge or language 1 can obtain on average? Or what most non high IQ people are capabale of?

I disagree with the notion that the human mind is limitless and that all people are equally smart or capable of the same intellectual feats.

In addition the best polyglots ever like Steve Kaufman, ioannis ikonomou, Stephen Krashen, powell janulus, johan vandewalle,

etc etc are capping out at about 20 each

Please dont give me historic examples which cannot be verified and even Mr. Guiness record Ziad Fazah was exposed as a fraud on Chilean Tv show when he was surprised by Russian, Greek, Hindi, Chinese and Persian speakers who all said beginner phrases to him and he failed to understand or respond correctly.

Surely by now there exists studies showing average storage capacity for the common human? And how that translates into storage space needed for a language in addition to the necessary upkeep? The mind is not limitless
