The article states that only 12% of success is determined by practice, thus the hypothesis of it taking 10,000 hours of practice to master a skill is false.

Somehow that doesn't make any sense. >D

The author should maybe have read up more on the 10,000 hour rule, because the rule means that if someone is extremely talented in a certain skill already, it still takes them 10,000 hours to master that skill, such as Beethoven, Gates etc.
