I think it's terribly unfair to put that kind of pressure on a kid. They're setting him up to feel like a failure if he doesn't get a Nobel prize, which is hardly the truth.

I've seen this before: kid has fabulous talent; kid gets lots of publicity; kid is taught by trusted people around him that he is THE BEST!!!!! ...kid can't handle it when he gets into the world and discovers he's not THE BEST!!!!!

It's not the kid's fault, but he has to suffer with the consequences.

And I am very tired of the media making comparisons to Einstein.
