I disagree with the premise. "Talent" is something you either have or lack. I, for example, have no talent for art. I cannot draw a straight line.
Isn't talent only that you can learn something quicker and/or be better than others at it? As an example the average person could never ever be as good as Ronaldo at football or as good as Leonardo da Vinci when it comes to drawing because they're talented. But don't you agree that the person I described could be reasonably good at football or drawing, with effort? Or would you say the described person is even more limited then that because of let's say genetics?
