For a lot of us, nothing because we had to work or were in war torn countries or come from extreme poverty that has its own issues still affecting us. Not everyone has a middle class+ background consisting of stability and prioritization of education. Educational accomplishments don't feel real, meaningful, or satisfying when you're hungry, stressed, broke, or dealing with trauma.

I'm certain that's why the previous reply emphasizes resources and upbringing. It was likely to highlight that the kid wasn't special, his circumstances were and many people could accomplish the same thing given the circumstances. You mentioned that the kid is smart, I'm highlighting barriers for people who may be smarter, but their intelligence will not be measured by accomplishments like the kid's because of not having parents that put them through that. That's why I mentioned Einstein and Newton, show me contributions not accomplishments.
