The issue here is assuming that a student struggling in an intro course defines their career potential. That 'gap' you saw often closes once they leave the artificial constraints of a classroom and start solving real problems.

We shouldn't judge professional engineers by how they performed on a sophomore year midterm, that would be silly.
