Bob,
I'm totally in agreement with you. I believe that's one reason and a powerful one as to why the old heads somewhat rule and are successful. We did it by making our own calculation by hand and we have an understanding many can't comprehend.
I don't believe it takes 10,000 hours to become an expert at something or task as is determined by doing it. We can only learn so much by reading, theory Etc. One must have practical application. A race is the classroom for learning. One would be better off spending hours on a race and tearing it apart to learn. It 'll expose your weakness such as; proper contenders, or pacelines and a better decision process. Speed of application will come naturally, walk it first. Then ask some great handicappers here on site for their opinion. And if no mistake , move on and get to the next race.
However some where in that number of hours is that key. Sartin always said; "understand concept" or the basic of something and build from there, one could also say its builds a foundation for success.
The real problem is many are into instant gratification and must have it now. Work, are you kidding, no time for that. Well good luck with that, as it will provide winners, however not enough for success of what their really seeking. Doing the work is the key to the mint or our banks where we make those withdraws on a regular basis.
