This is not written by Tao, but by Álvaro Lozano-Robledo.

It's quite amusing that this mistake gets made on every single one of these guest posts when the first words on the page are "This is a guest post by Álvaro Lozano-Robledo" and the first paragraph starts with "I would like to give Terry my heartfelt thanks for giving me the opportunity to contribute a post to his blog." It's pretty clear that everyone is skimming these at best. Maybe he should put the disclaimer in a bigger font or something.

Though it’s very funny to imagine Tao suddenly acquiring a massive ego:

> At any given time in the history of mathematics, there have been mathematicians … whose mental capacity for mathematics seems completely super human (e.g., the owner of this blog, among many others).
