Great to hear this view applied to maths as well, and curiously enough from someone like Terrance.
I wonder, if you were to ask him if he was born with "an abundance of raw talent" in maths, do you think he would say yes? And if so, I wonder if he has found it partially harmful to his development (as he mentions is a possibility for those with raw talent, and what has been found to be a potentiality by experts). And if so, I wonder if he feels he has had to develop various means (or put forth an unusual amount of effort) in circumventing it?
Alternatively, does he explain his situation as a case of having put forth an amazing amount of effort over the years?
Anyway, this is very much in alignment with recent studies from cognitive scientists and social/developmental psychologists in all sorts of fields, which I'm sure influenced Terrance's view and article here. Cool to hear.
