yep. it’s like when people think my IT/coding skills are ‘magic’.
they aren’t… they are a product of learning and failing and learning… effort.
i also notice people think like some 12 year old who is really good at something is magically gifted… 99.9% of the time it’s because they are already been doing it for a decade. all my professionally level musician friends started learning music at like 2 or 3. most kids don’t learn until like 12, so those ‘gifted’ kids have a decade of experience already.
just like when i took calc 3 at 30 and my class had a bunch of 15 year olds in it. those 15 year olds in it they weren’t geniuses. they just had more experience and knowledge than me and parents who pushed them. many of them probably would go on to graduate college in 2-3 years instead of the traditional 4.
