I really enjoy seeing presentations by current-day exploit devs/vuln researchers who talk about how they went from 0 to hero and their approach to deliberate study and learning. If only more Universities paid attention to the method of how to create such experts.

The key is that it takes a significant amount of time investment to be good at something, whether it be exploit dev or say boxing. Very few professors have real exploit dev experience, therefore it is difficult for them to really comprehend the necessary methods to teach.
