I have no doubt that Lang would be a top competitor if he was still working on
Genius.
In the last decade he was several years ahead of the others. I still don't
understand how he managed to not improve.
Maybe when you are at the top with no real competition you get bored quickly.
And when the others come back you just think: "that's natural, I did not work.
But if I work I'll still be above...". And you are satisfied with it.
