It just my interpretation of the passage. It might be interesting to think about it, but it's probably not really important at this point. The main point of Paul in bringing up the Law is usually to show how it created a consciousness of sin, and perhaps even more, of humankind's failure to live up to divine standards.
You keep saying Adam had the mind of a child. Care to explain why you think that?
