The title reminds me of a quote I once read attributed to an eminent musician. It was something like, "I practice eight hours a day for twenty years, and now they call me a genius!" Edison's quote about the causes of success being 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration is also germane.
Love it. Read Outliers and loved that part too. Interesting that the studies date back to Morse code operators in the 1890s.
