but they are all equal.. say a child has 200% neurons then another child.. it dont matter only thing they can do is be a blob on the floor.. no child is self sufficient at birth. the topic asks if all humans are born equal... not post birth..

i just like to argue for the sake of argueing...

I can see where you are coming from with this argument - I think you are saying that since all babies can do virtually nothing they are all intellectually equal. But I think even at birth babies can do slightly more than nothing, and that what they can do differs between individuals. I can't think of an example though, because as you imply, it is hard to see what a newborn can do intellectually. Still, Maciamo is right that each individual's brain physiology is different, so I think his argument gets my vote.
