The arguments you presented supporting that do not support the absence of a suggestion, they support the absence of conclusive proof by presenting a possible alternative explanation.

Why do you say that? The suggestion looks clear to me. A suggestion is a not overwhelming evidence.

As presented in the article, the learned behaviour suggestion is a complete non sequitur.

I suspect it appears clear to you only because you share the author's preconceived and possibly subconscious notion.

The notion that children are not developing many new brain functions as late as 10, so behaviors that show up then are probably cultural?

That is not a non sequitur.
