Eh you can’t ignore the effect talent has on skill development. Their brain can literally be wired in a way that something like rhythm can be difficult to master whereas someone else can pick it up easily. Some of these things you’re just born with and can never change.
The same applies to high level math and art
It's at most a headstart
It’s more of a multiplier. Regardless of practice someone without talent will never catch a talented and dedicated person.
Huh, I guess that explains all those bands of musicians where none of them had any talent and then went on to have zero success, such as AC/DC, Slayer and Metallica
Mainstream musical success is not a metric of musical skill. However if you look at any violin soloist, they have to be talented.
Also I’d also argue many of those band members do have talent.
Nah, Metallica are talentless hacks, they're famous for it
I see you didn’t refute my primary argument.
I just don't think it's true tbh, and you're selling yourself short
I have no evidence and don't care enough to find any either
