But isn’t what you said a bit of a straw man too? Back in the music comparison, no one would expect an excellent guitarist to take up playing piano and still be a virtuoso.

And yet… we do recognize that some people are impressively better than others at playing piano, running yards, fighting, and all sorts of other narrowly specific tasks.

It’s just that the more creative the task, the harder it to measure how much better someone is.
