I think you may have missed the point of the original comment - presumably those archaic instruments and interfaces would show a much higher value of experience over cognitive ability. The fact that this isn’t the case for computer tasks overall suggests that interfaces on average are pretty good (or there is some other factor they failed to include - maybe they are all similarly bad which means everyone comes in with more than zero experience, etc.). Full disclosure I didn’t read the article.
