The "10,000-hour rule" was debunked again. That’s a relief. (www.vox.com)

tl;dr: practice provides an 18-26% improvement, and the rest I guess is just natural talent?

The article links another one by Slate that mentions genes and age (when starting the activity). The main article also mentions personality and life history.

Genes seems to be a big one though, at least in the Slate article, and I suppose natural talent necessarily has a genetic dimension to it.

So, why read the Vox "article" when I can just read the Slate one?
