Wouldn't a better metaphor be if a child growing up in a bilingual household would be worse at physics as an adult? My guess would be growing up bilingual would have no impact.

This hypotetical kid would have the same size of brain/number of neurons anyway. In case of LLMs one could create a model that could be smaller thakns to not including the knowlegde about unecessary languages. A problem though could be with lacking traing data in other languages.
