There was a discussion here some years ago in which some argued that there was some sort of unquantifieable natural talent that made certain people naturally better at the job and that it wasn't just a series of skills and methods that anyone could learn if they worked hard enough at it. I don't remember offhand who it was, but I'm pretty sure it was no one who is still around post dotcom.

Can you explain this further, Gene. I can't see at the moment what the two things have to do with each other. The artisan is not more talented than the engineer (rather less, if anything) and I can't see that teaching is more apt to stress engineering rather than artisanship (particularly in technical communication).
