But to be a genius, you don't have to be the best, only one of the best.
The article also never claims that everyone IS a mathematical genius, only that they have the potential to become geniuses. Whether or not the achieve this potential in their lifetimes is another matter entirely that doesn't contradict what your quote implies (that only a small percent of the population can be among the "best" at any given time, by definition).
