I don't see any proof that he's a math genius. The attitude of the public seems to be that math is something you're supposed to just "get" automatically by having a gift in your brain, as if it's not a knowledge-based discipline that takes years of study. I think this comes from mental math being confused for actual math---and mental math ability is probably genetic.
