No worse than the adult population. […]

At what age would you say that a child (ie someone that is not an adult) brain is equal, in terms of rationality (assuming that is a sufficient metric to gauge one's fitness for voting in an election), to that of an adult brain? Or are you saying that a child brain of any age is equal to an adult brain?

The discussion is about the article which clearly states the metrics. Even if you didn't read the article it's also in the title.
