It just makes it so that, you know, you've searching for the keys and typing one at a time becomes easier for you.

Well, I mean, that's why piano teachers often say that they'd rather have someone who has no experience than that has the wrong experience, because you have to spend time kind of unlearning those bad habits.

Well, I mean, no doubt that talent or this kind of residual concept of like that isn't explainable in terms of practice or motivation or whatever explains some of the difference in performance.

Like there's no doubt about that.

And I think when you look at a really elite level, so we're talking about the LeBron James, the Tiger Woods is the Usain Bolt of the world.

It's going to be a huge factor because at that level, pretty much everyone is practicing as hard as they can, you know.

I mean, I'm sure there's a few lazy basketball players and a few lazy golfers.

But if you're in the PGA, you're really trying hard to be the best golfer in the world.

You know, you're not just like guys going out on the weekend being like, yeah, I'll put in nine holes or whatever.

And I think...

So I think this idea of talent, I think it does become more important at that real extreme level just because pretty much everyone at that level has a great coach.

They have top-of-the-line advice and feedback.

They're practicing nonstop.

They're professional.

Whereas I think for everyday people who are trying to get a bit better at everything, there is a lot more room for practice just because of what we talked about that I'm not going to be a better driver just because I'm not putting in that deliberate effort.

But if I knew how to put in that deliberate effort, yeah, I could probably become a better driver.

No, definitely.

But I mean, I would feel uncomfortable like renting a car and driving around Mumbai, for instance, or, you know, like there's there's definitely aspects of driving ability that, you know, I just would feel are outside my level of like, OK, I can't do that because it's too hard for me.

Whereas someone who was a better driver would be like, yeah, you know, I can rent a car and and go, you know, do something where it's going to be a harder environment than I'm used to.

And so I think that does affect my ability to drive things.
