> That author argued that while they were consistently very good at body painting (top 5 in the world championships), they were not able to conceive how the 2016 winner produced the work they did in the same amount of time (6 hours). Even though they were improving incrementally, they were so far behind the winner's work that they couldn't wrap their head around what sorts of improvements they would need to add in order to reach the same level of competency. So it was not just a matter of being consistent. Their mental model was off.
I think that that author would be able to improve her article by many orders of magnitudes simply by incorporating the images she is referring to (his own, and the winner's).
That she is incapable of understanding how poor a written comparison of pictures is when making a point of comparison tells me that she might have difficulty understanding things in general, not just the visual art she is, ironically, only able to talk about and not show.
