Selection bias by non-scientist who has "studied" a subject as a hobby for 30 years. Of course some people are born with special abilities. One of the dissenting commenters writes "Baloney. I started drawing recognizable human figures when I was two or three years old. At that age and with the parents I had, neither coaching nor practice was involved. At every step of the way, I was far, far ahead of my peers in attaining the typical developmental stages of an artist." The author must know nothing of Srinivasa Ramanujan or Carl Friedrich Gauss. He must have never heard of savant syndrome. Yes, most people work hard to master their professions, but we don't all start off equal and pretending so is delusional.
