In Reply to: Genius is an ultimate word, and like most such words has been devalued by pop culture. posted by Timbo in Oz on May 15, 2012 at 23:31:17:
Being "a genius" is a little bit different than displaying a degree of ingenuity (or, having "genius"), at least according to my dictionary. I might agree that Brian Wilson "had genius", and for some, that would be enough to make him deserving of the label. I'm not so sure...
