I did say "the first virtual world that someone gets into" rather
than "the first virtual world that someone plays". Some people make
aborted attempts to play before they're really ready.

I see your point about predisposition, but although it's a factor I
don't believe it's the main one. The sheer magic, delight and wonder
of their initial experiences is what does it.
