The article didn't articulate the particular relationship between the so-called creativity gene and speech impediments. If we're to suppose that the relationship is proportional, then one could suppose that anyone with a speech problem was also short-changed in the creativity department. With that said, here's a very short list of stammering creative types: Robert Boyle; Lewis Carrol; Charles Darwin; Issac Newton; Virgil. Or maybe their stammering inspired their creativity (with, maybe, stammerers being more socially isolated and, therefore, more prone to introspection and, eventually, discovery)? Or is the relationship just the opposite. Let's see. Almost any fast-talking politician. Yes. They're artistic-creative. AREN'T THEY! Who knows; lots of holes in the article.
