With fMRI around the strinct distinction between left and right brain thinking doesn't realy seem to exist.
The brain is a bit more complex, it does multiple things in different parts during tasks, some in the left brain some in the left.

I have come to the conclusion that much of mental genius comes from right-brain - or at least whole-brain - exercise. I also believe that savants are able to display feats of brilliance because their mental disabilities tend to suppress left-brain activity.

Keep in mind that the "average" savant has poor social skills.
They can't read bodylanguage or understand irony with their intuition. They have to learn those things analytical.

How many geniuses are we pumping out of our school systems? If left-brain exercise alone is what it took to produce genius, then surely 14,000 hours of practice in public school is enough time to develop this.

They key is diliberate pratice. Most stundents don't do that.
In addition you can't add the time listing to boring talk of your teacher as praticing your logic skills.
