I hadn’t read! And it is wonderful. Thank you.
-
How, then, do you know it's wonderful?
-
The first remark is in the past tense, the second in present :)
-
Yes, I read it. And since I read everything I am extremely grateful when people point out things I haven’t read.

This paper is just another version of Blank Slate theory. It rightly debunks the 10,000 hr rule (quantitative) but gets the causality of qualitative round the wrong way. This paper has been written by someone stuck in a deluded paradigm.
-
Agreed. The reason why they do the qualitative things well is because they are talented to begin with. The first half of the paper was good but he lost me with talent is useless.

Just read this whole thing. The point about swimming being a different activity at different lvls of the game seems completely true. I -started- bodypainting at the world champs, never competed in the amateur division (you can’t do that now), made finals with only 1yr experience.
