i think the problem is with your understanding of the argument, no offense or anything. but take your example for instance. just because the poor african genius probably wont get a nobel prize or world-wide notoriety, doesn't make him any less of a genius. and just because one genius is smarter than another doesn't imply that the other isn't a genius. take too genius scientists for instance. one is surely smarter than the other but they are both geniuses
