Are Geniuses Made, Not Born?

This article has some problems. Here are some:

Presumably, the boys who attended the school were Lutherans.

Von Neumann, Wigner, Szilard, Teller, Erdos were all Jewish.

Also, of these five, only Von Neumann and Wigner went to the Lutheran High School.

Also the article speculates that the Lutheran High School was a neighborhood school, when it was a private school with students from all over Budapest.
