In fact, 10,511 is not prime, being divisible by 23 and 457, even though it “looks” like one. This fallibility in savants’ ability to intuit prime numbers is analogous to a native English speaker’s difficulty in using generally unconscious, intuitive word formation rules to distinguish some actual English words from nonwords.

Tsktsking

Syzygy

Ooecia

Gleever

Leiotrichous
