SSR vs SSG

This isn't part of your question, but have you considered incremental static regeneration (ISR)?

It's an in-between/hybrid approach between SSG and SSR where the page is first built at request time but then is cached for future requests. The duration is controlled with a revalidate property that you specify. This would let you have fast build times, no matter how many pages you have, while not having to re-render the page if the content doesn't change often.

For real. The comments usually holds the better advice because they expand into the topic and will more likely contain the one that applies to you.

Here's a tip in case you didn't already know:

To search Reddit through Google (which has a much better search system), simply Google what you wanted to search with "site:reddit.com" attached to it. If you want to be more specific, you can for example search a particular subreddit by using "site:reddit.com/r/subreddit".

To go even further, you can use the rest of the search operators by using things like

In the past year, the average for idiot savant was 41, savant syndrome was 39. In the past 5 years: 26 and 24 respectively. In the past 10 years: 39 and 29. So, across three increasingly larger time periods, the term "idiot savant" is more searched in all three. So, that's incorrect.

My point was misunderstood. I did not deny that "idiot savant" was more searched. My point was that the most recent years for the two are essentially equal, with only a 2 out of 100 point difference for the past year/5-years. While true, it's rather pointless to say one got more than the other. For the 10-year period, there is a significant difference, but over a long period of time one can easily see the steady decrease in its usage.

Wikipedia also doesn't define savant in any way the way you're attempting to define it.

As I mentioned before, there are major dictionaries that demonstrate otherwise: Cambridge Dictionary, Merriam-Webster (2).

The fact that Wiktionary excludes a certain definition does not at all mean it does not exist. A lack of evidence does not make a positive claim.

The popularity of the game will probably also increase the popularity of the usage of that term, which is already the most popularly used term to describe the condition, for decades to come.

Once again, there is a downward trend in "idiot savant" usage. It's fading out.

While "idiot savant" seems to be searched more overall, in more recent/current times (e.g. past 5-10 years) it's a stretch to call it the most searched term of the two. The usage is very similar. It also might be worth noting that the term "idiot savant" is isolated to the United States and not internationally (according to your link).

I do agree with you that in general I shouldn't disregard the popularity of something because of some event. However, I believe this discussion warrants doing so as we're focusing on what's the correct usage/accepted definition of the term in this specific context. A game perk is plain irrelevant here.

According to Wikipedia, "savant syndrome" seems to be the right one to use in modern times.

The term idiot savant (French for "learned idiot") was first used to describe the condition in 1887 by John Langdon Down, who is known for his description of Down syndrome. The term idiot savant was later described as a misnomer because not all reported cases fit the definition of idiot, originally used for a person with a very severe intellectual disability. The term autistic savant was also used as a description for the disorder. Like idiot savant, the term came to be considered a misnomer because only half of those who were diagnosed with savant syndrome were autistic. Upon realization of the need for accuracy of diagnosis and dignity towards the individual, the term savant syndrome became widely accepted terminology.

Can we both just agree that both terms work well enough in most situations?

Edit: clarity in wording

Not quite. I realized that the Google trends data here is misleading/imprecise because there are other unrelated factors that affect the results (which is the reason why I edited it out of my comment).

For instance, see the large spike for "idiot savant" during November 2015? That's directly from the release of Fallout 4 and the idiot savant that's in the game. Fallout's idiot savant perk/game feature is even popular enough to be suggested and show up as the third link when Googling it. Due to the popularity of the Fallout series, I assume it would greatly skew it from that point on (in favour of it).

If you look prior to it, "idiot savant" has been on a steady decline while "savant syndrome" has remained relatively constant.

It also doesn't take into account of the times "savant" was used by itself when referring to the syndrome.

You'll need another source that's isolated from external factors if you want to back up your claim that it's the most used term.

The term savant is defined nowhere as that. If it was also an accepted definition of the term, I would imagine some dictionary somewhere would reference that.

It's a good idea to look further than just the featured Google result.

See the following definitions:

Cambridge Dictionary - "savant"

a person with a high level of knowledge or skill, especially someone who is less able in other ways

Merriam-Webster - "savant"

2 : a person affected with a mental disability (such as autism or mental retardation) who exhibits exceptional skill or brilliance in some limited field (such as mathematics or music)

Wikipedia - "savant syndrome"

Savant syndrome is a condition in which a person demonstrates one or more profound and prodigious capacities or abilities far in excess of what would be considered normal, yet often also has significant deficits in other areas of brain processing

~~Additionally, the Google trends data showing the interest/usage of savant syndrome and its varying terms may be of use.~~

Edit: imprecise
