Glad you outed Terry as the bad guy that jealous Salieri was in the film.
I was misled into thinking that his "all academics feel for the Salieri character" comment could've been--in the dimmest of possibilities--paraphrasing Grothendieck that he felt outclassed by his peers:
“Since then I’ve had the chance in the world of mathematics that bid me welcome, to meet quite a number of people, both among my ‘elders’ and among young people in my general age group who were more brilliant, much more ‘gifted’ than I was.” (Récoltes et Semailles)
