In fact, sadly Scott Lilienfeld passed away in 2020. While I agree with many things Scott Lilienfeld has written, I feel he was wrong about this one. Lilienfeld is arguing that mastery of a skill comes quickly with a steep learning curve. That is incorrect. It’s not a mastery curve, it’s a learning curve. To achieve mastery requires a great deal of learning, so the learning vs. time and effort vs time curves are steep, while the mastery vs time curve is shallow.
