flwydIntelligence is focusing on that which is related to the task at hand.
Genius is just a twisted sense of relation.
explanation {
Word problems are all about ignoring what's irrelevant and tying things together. When you're thinking about how to solve a physics problem, you don't insert facts about the War of 1812. A logic "AI" that merely enumerated premises and tried all possible rules in an attempt to reach the destination doesn't demonstrate intelligence. When a person approaches a logic problem, they have a sense of what steps are needed, what premises are relevant, etc.
Genii are often able to bring in ideas from quite different domains to solve a problem. Furthermore, they tend to carve new ground within a field by combining local elements that nobody else had thought to.
