The general argument that I hear which is true (from all I've seen and read) is that neuroplasticity is greatly reduced in adults as compared to children. There is a period in early childhood where brains are incredibly flexible and adaptable, and as they age they continuously lose that ability until the majority of it has been lost by adulthood.
It doesn't mean there is zero in adulthood, just that it is very small compared to childhood.
I think you're arguing against something nobody really says.
