With damaged brains, hence the inability to learn stuff, yes. Whether the bit of brain that was damaged was intellect or soul or spiritual or perceptual or what, I never specified. Then we checked back, and found it was "spiritual or magical".

I think I suggested that any *normal* RW person could learn how to tell if a fruit is ripe without benefit of magic, if only on the grounds that the entire human race seems to have done so. Maybe not in five minutes on their own, but by being taught by somneone who knew, certainly. And I still hold to that belief.
