There’s not only one metric for a genius, this dudes more prolific With his papers, maybe he’s even more of a prodigy than Tao, but what difference does it make, does it make Tao any less of a big deal?
Terence Tao was already a full professor at age 24, younger than when almost every math PhD was in their 3rd year of PhD.
