Surely, doing anything for 10,000 hours should make almost anyone pretty good at what he does.
However, we all know people who do "X" and have done it for, let's say, 5000 hours and are much more of a master at "X" than others who have done "X" for 20,000 hours. Therefore, there must be many other factors that are included in the equation other than simply time. Passion, skill, repetition, intangible talents, a gift to do "X," to name but a few. And, we all know those who have done "X" for 10,000 hours and do "X" terribly and would never be considered a master.
Myself? I flew airplanes for almost forty years and have over 28,000 hours in my profession. Was I a master pilot? Well, I was pretty darn good, but only as good as my last landing.
