I completely disagree with one opinion of the author. By the way, I agree that Polgar's experiment was a tainted one. But, this does not prove that nature kicks nurture's butt. Nature can give better potential (e.g. higher propensity for hard work). But, passion, perseverance and nurture are definitely as important as potential. A lot of people with potential for skills, high IQ and higher propensity for hard work by your measurement do not become geniuses, after all.
