Taking those limitations into account and looking past their selection process into the field itself, my observation is that the best are handicapped in ways the average aren't. I hypothesize it has to do with a narrower concentration of ability.

Not talking personality flaws, the general lopsidededness that comes with specialization or psychological issues. I'm referring to handicaps related to the field e.g. musicians with a poor memory, authors w/ dyslexia etc.

Met quite a few of these people in the past year who had to work at least twice as hard to perform but they were also twice as likely to produce something twice as valuable than the average. Strange phenomenon.

No. Hard work guided by talent beats hard work

Hard work is essential, talent is not. I believe one with no talent but “focused” hard work can beat talent, mere hard work is of no use.

Don't mistake quantitative for qualitative hard work. Talent is nothing more than the proper orientation towards the qualitative.
