It's absurd to think anyone who got into Yale is an idiot savant.

Clearly the man is good at several things.

An expression of the belief that he's an idiot savant suggests either staggering ignorance, or trolling.

Expression of this post suggests staggering ignorance of what "idiot savant" means.
From the definition provided in the first post, an idiot savant is "a mentally defective person with an exceptional skill or talent in a special field, as a highly developed ability to play music or to solve complex mathematical problems mentally at great speed."

You don't get to Yale with just one talent.
