i think that's really just a misunderstanding of what "bottleneck" means. a bottleneck isn't an obstacle where overcoming it will allow you to realize unlimited potential, a bottleneck is always just an obstacle to finding the next constraint.

on actual bottles without any metaphors, the bottle neck is narrower because humans mouths are narrower.
