I really like a lot of the conclusions the article draws -- 1:1 tutoring, Taking Children Seriously, Access to an Exceptional Milieu, etc.
However, I have always thought that the answer to the question "What happened to all the geniuses?" was somewhat obvious -- we ran out of an abundance of low hanging fruit to discover. The 'ease of discovery' for breakthroughs in science and math are on a some sort of a non-linear curve, and they aren't getting easier.
