> Expectations that other people can perform like you do if they just put their mind to it is so blind to the reality of human experience that it's hard to respond.
I never claimed that was the case. In fact, I specifically cited examples where no amount of hard work could close the gap to top performers.
I wasn't suggesting that everyone can perform equally if they just work hard enough. The point is that attention, focus, and work ethic are not static traits of an individual. Yes, we pivot around certain biological attributes, but that doesn't mean they're fixed.
We all benefit from putting in the work to improve our attention spans and other learned behaviors, regardless of our starting baseline.
