I feel like this is responding to the extreme simplification simply practicing more produces results which is analogous to the 10,000 hour Gladwell comment. Most people would agree simply spending hours on something doesn't usually get you very far. It's the quality of that training tied to your own aptitude for the subject. Sadly or thankfully, since we don't know the limits of our own aptitudes, we can really only do high quality training to see where we peak out. I think it's easy to believe that the above statement is widely understood, but it's not. Meet any kid who has been forced to do piano, swimming or whatever by their parents. My parents and I know so many others who simply forced their kids to practice practice practice in hopes it will lead somewhere. 12 years of piano. I barely even know how to read music and play any instrument.
