You're wrong about it only being about the high end that genes trump practice. Genes trump practice even and especially in the beginning of a craft.

That early advantage drops off quick and too many people use it as an excuse.

It doesn't. It compounds. Quicker learning doesn't stop after the beginning. You learn everything quicker.

Are you associating quicker learning with genetic advantages? My experience has shown these two aren't necessarily related. Genes definitely get you to a starting point that's farther than others but knowing how to learn and practice can outpace that.

I'm not denying its existence, I just don't think it should be a significant consideration until the higher levels. Greatness can be achieved without a genetic advantage. To be the #1 in your field may be another story.

I’m not debating whether greatness can be achieved. That depends what qualifies as greatness. Which itself has an IQ floor as far as I’m concerned.

But furthermore, quicker learning helps at every stage. It doesn’t stop being an advantage. Every practice requires tons of quick adjustment, the ability to know when to avoid repeating mistakes, adaptability. And more importantly the time preference that is associated with IQ.

Gotcha. I don't think I ever said anything to contradict that unless one thinks a growth mindset is fixed and innate. I've been around people with natural aptitudes that are low in a growth mindset with high time preference that may almost be a direct result of that aptitude.

Growth mindset is malleable within parameters set by IQ and thus the mindset is largely inherent.
