What's up with treating people we don't know as `genius`?
Albert Einstein is a genius - Elon Musk is a genius (...); we won't hear otherwise. But is this adjective pagan? A proxy to name something we don't understand, something people were not trained to analyze?
We understand genius, it’s just the word is applied generically to anything that demands higher level cognitive skills. Everyone has latent genius that is untapped IMHO. Even with low IQ you can still leverage latent genius. IQ is a bad heuristic for measuring genius anyway.
