The comparisons to prodigies who took 10 years to reach excellence is a false dichotomy.
People who are good (not world-renowned) probably don't need 10 years to become good. And some who never become good spend a lifetime in mediocrity.
I agree that it's nearly impossible to become a savant in 24 hours, but this article is bunk.
