N8, I agree with you 99%. But story has it that Mozart picked up the violin at age 4, and just started playing not because he had been practicing, but because he had been hanging around musicians all his young life (and no doubt due to genetic hard-wiring). I do believe Mozart was a true genius. We just have to accept that there are a few out there!! The rest of us, of course, need the 10,000 hours of thoughtful practice.
