His point was that Rapoza can't teach you because he just grinds and internalizes shit. It's less "talent" and more that some people - from various factors both innate and how/where they're raised + what life experience they have - learn how to "see like an artist" even before they start to draw, while others have a mentality so divorced from viewing things that way that they have to build up a lot of the supporting connections to do it. And this also applies for just learning anything: Some people get exceptionally good at rote memorization of data, or are trained to do mental math, and so on. Others are really good at conversation, reading people and such. Some have high proprioception, some good fine motor control. Some are great at juggling short term info. Some learn to be methodical for diagnosing problems with things that aren't themselves.

Humans are complex because the world is complex. Understanding this allows you to teach others by gauging what areas people are good at and then using that as an anchor point to help them build up other skills without it being frustrating or tiresome.
