In short, my answer to your &quot;why&quot; actually rhymes: ROI, that&#x27;s why.<p>A gifted, talented, socially well adjusted person has an extensive potential to do amazing things. Thus, it&#x27;s my perspective that starting with those who have un-actualized talent - those with the capacity, aptitude and attitude to rise high in achievement - is more compelling than spending extensive time and money on maximizing the use of a limited capacity. That&#x27;s kind of the whole thought behind trying to identify smart and capable people - it&#x27;s their potential.
