A highly skilled person can only thrive in the right environment.
As an extreme example, take the best programmer in the world, and send him back 500 years in the past, he's probably not going to be very productive.
(The counterpoint to this, which the GP didn't talk about, is that this person is still likely to be able to retrain and be productive in that society in other ways.)
