When you think of the "best artists" you've seen, are you making any distinction between technical and creative skill? For example, there are many great studio musicians who are nonetheless nowhere near as good as composers of original music. I would expect that technical skill is a more natural outgrowth of hard work than creative skill, even as the Beatles-in-Hamburg story claims a growth in creative skill.

That last value refers to how in tune they are with the cultural zeitgeist. There are ways around the first value, but not the second and third.
