Thats all fine, but my point is that without outside guidance and collaboration from experts in the field, its impossibly to envisage that Shuri can reach a level of intellect that surpasses Tony Stark (the guy who literally created a new elemant).
Isaac Newton invented calculus from scratch when no one else had a clue. But he went to Cambridge university and was in frequent contact with experts where information and theories could be exchanged in an academic environment. Newton then later said his famous quote about standing on the shoulders of giants.
Shuri has no assistance other than what we assume is Google and basic science teachers.
That's an assumption that she only had the internet. We saw a few panoramic shots of their city and the technology it was landscaped with. Just because we didn't see a cameo shot of a university doesn't mean that they didn't have one. Obviously technological advances couldn't be supported for centuries if they didn't have an advanced education system in place.
Unfortunately they didn't spend time developing Suri's backstory regarding her genius and education. But then again she is not the title character like Tony Stark or Bruce Banner.
Also it seems the criticizers keep ignoring the opening backstory of the movie that explained that for centuries the mountain Wakandan people gravitated towards metallurgy of vibranium and the discovery of the technologies it supported. It's not hard to fathom or totally inconceivable. Think of the leaps certain nations made in history when they came upon one technological advancement. Bronze, iron, gunpowder... and that's just a handful of examples. I could go on.
