I recall otherwise from the explanation given. I only recall it being state that the powers are enhanced by undergoing the brain enhancement programs. ie: The science community finds children with small quirks in them (minor abnormalities or differences from the normal person) and uses enhancement programs to surface and strengthen the person's powers.

Mikoto of course wasn't able to fire a railgun or fry anyone as a child, however she was shown to generate and manipulate quantities of electricity. Similarly Accelerator would have been born with small quirks, MrTerrorist's explanation on his albinoism.
