Successful people with innate talent and gift downplay that role because it implies noblesse oblige. On display with say tech billionaires who love to stress merit because it frees them from obligations and boosts their ego. Admitting the role of upbringing, genes and just pure luck implies a responsibility to others. That people have a keen sense for innate talent isn't some flawed bias, it's just very common sense recognition of facts. The irony is that we could have much better outcomes for most people if we ditched the egalitarian myth that just frees top performers from responsibility.
