whether he's what we'd cal a "genius" is what I found most interesting - at first I thought that what makes a genius is the very human leaps in thought that push ideas beyond the standard "envelope" (for want of a better word); I saw his gift as something robotic which fell outside that definition. Later I started to wonder if what was really fascinating wasn't the super calculating power, but whether his gift is a glimps of the processes underneah our conscious thought which allow us to make those leaps. Maybe he defines that spark of genius and that's why he's so interesting. (?)
