As with any multigenic inheritance with few dominants, this is true.
That said, a few point difference is expected to remain in 5 generations, and if the line has more children the higher the chance of a genius line surviving.
But still with regression to the mean, no? The child of two great geniuses is likely to be a somewhat lesser genius. Above average, but below their parents. A few generations of such regression to the mean and there might not be that much extra intelligence in the descendants of great geniuses.
