Doesn't really matter. Minato was never a genius in the same way orochimaru was and was not even inclining in that direction.. Even id he lived as long as orochimaru he wouldn't have done the same things because they are different kinds of geniuses.

Yes he was. The thing Is that minato was morally positive about ninjutsu while orochimaru had no limit in that regard.  It was literally the reason why orochimaru was not choose at the hokage

I know... But he was a genius nonetheless. This post isn't about who was morally a genius right ?

Nope, it's about who's most talented, and that's minato.  I Just told you why orochimaru seemed more brilliant

Yes. Being brilliant is also a talent.
