HI Mohinish! That's Alessio from his new home in Mandello (Lecco, Italy, guess). Note that Broca's is a braggart, more specifically, the first braggart in the history of neuroscience. He made the over-inference of function localisation on grounds of n=1 cases. Thirty years earlier Dax made the same inference on n=200 cases, but he was too prudent to publish it in a relevant journal.
