It seems to me that the reviewer read the first 50 pages of the book then put it down and wrote the review. On the whole, I think Gladwell did a decent job arguing that it is a confluence of factors -- base intelligence, hard work, opportunity and savviness, which contribute to success. The 10,000 hour "rule" is just one point among many to basically illustrate that hard work is part of the equation which is sometimes overlooked.
