or that high I.Q. is key to math ability, which Timothy Gowers, a 1998 Fields medalist, has attributed largely to “the capacity to become obsessed with a math problem.” How many Fields medalists were retards? Case made. This pernicious lie that you can do anything if you just work hard enough at it, the "capacity to become obsessed," is not going to help race relations in this country. I'm a fairly smart guy, I think, and I can't even comprehend the kind of math done at levels required to win a Fields medal.
