What a weird poisition to take. If I've got a week to live, who cares about what return I may get? I'm going to do whatever makes me happy and if that's working out my new skill to zero applause so be it.

“happy” is a return model, I’m claiming you won’t get good enough at piano to get happy in a week. This is a proposition about the nature of learning curves, not mortality as such.

How would you discover you're a genius at the piano at such a specific moment? In general seems to be something one discovers over the course of years.

But playing the piano could make you happy anyway, without needing to be good? Odd reasoning to claim you should only do things you'll be good at and quickly to be happy!

Generalizing to n weeks, people consider a payback period of their learning investment. A time until (an incremental) payoff is unlocked.
