Geniuses always show strong individuality and imagination, and are not only intelligent, but unique and innovative . . .' '. . .in many of these cases the term is applied incorrectly and should instead be used specifically to denote an exceptional natural capacity of intellect and creative originality in areas of art, literature, music, science and mathematics.' BE fits the definition exactly in a way that most people who are referred to as a 'genius' don't. Lordy, he might even be considered a polymath! Rant ends.
