I specially mentioned about his childhood to counter the main article i.e. a child cannot follow such a strict regimen.
Also, the wikipedia talks about his research contribution and it is highly impressive. He is one of the top mathematician in the world.

I didn't deny he was a genius, just noted that achievements seem required in the general understanding of the word.
and that ability allows them to produce work in some field dependent on that ability that is innovative and clearly superior to other works in that field. At least that's part of my definition.

that's a prodigy, when they achieve breakthroughs when adult is when I start to talk about genius.
