Yeah, this is quite fascinating and formed my opinion on childhood education. I always just assumed you could learn language later in life, but apparently it's impossible. So there's some crazy advantage early education has, but it's not yet clear what it is.

It could also be those children raised in the company of animals view humans ('socialized' humans and human society) as uncivilized, brutish and stupid, and do not deign to learn the preoccupations of such savages.
