It's been awhile, so I may be missing some pieces of information, but that's the general idea.

You may be right, but, like I said, I wasn't able to find much actual scientific info on the subject. I've heard stories that are the exact opposite of yours. So, who knows. At any rate, even if I wanted him to be the largest BCI known to man, I'd still want to grow him slowly. That seems to be the recommendation of the boa experts.
