Actually, there has been some fascinating research lately that "talent"
seems to be far less influential than previously thought.
In extreme physical sports, genetic body factors obviously hold sway
("You can't teach height"). However, for most pursuits where the
physical demands don't push human limits, skill/training seems to matter
*far* more.

For reference, see the "Expert Mind" article in the August 2006 issue
of Scientific American. It was a study of chess masters and comparison
to other fields. It seems that about 10 years of "effort full study"
(their words) are required to become an expert.
