I'm somewhat confused. What does being able to label something have to do with reproducing it? I may be able to label the heart in a person, or perhaps distinguish an exceptional sonata from something that isn't, but that doesn't mean that I can create a hart, or play that song.

Although you could see it as reproducing this human (breeding, eugenics) you could also look at it as discovery and training. Sort of like being able to spot a really great runner at age 5 and getting them to the Olympics by age 18, etc. I think if we can understand (since it probably isn't IQ) the "real" reason this person has such above-average abilities then we can find ways to test for it and help other people with these abilities develop fuller potential, and hopefully humanity gets something back - in both the arts and sciences.
