Exactly. That's why it's hard to watch so many people claim it's a myth. What I'm coming to realize is even worse is that many people do see how much more productive and capable other engineers can be, but make no effort to learn from them how they do what they do. I have no doubt that natural talent is a big factor, but many specific behaviors can be learned, and they're probably worth trying when they're going to affect every day of a multi-decade long career. Some people understand this and become the best they can be within their natural talents, while most people just keep doing whatever they're doing while watching junior engineers zip right past them.
