Strawman argument alert: "Talent plus ten years of work equals success? Sure!"

Actually, what the data shows is that becoming a world-class expert requires 10k hours of practice. Not that said practice will magically make you world-class. It's a necessary, but not sufficient condition.

The 10k hour figure is probably inflated, based on self-reports of total practice time.
