The title here is misleading, maybe deliberately to provoke interest? The article presents research that natural talents without "deliberate practice" are unlikely to result in great success in any field. Common sense, to me, that consistent, daily practice and focus on improvement are needed for top performance.

Agreed. And in some fields, such as music, "deliberate practice" without some natural talent will only take you so far. And in the the case of the international chess with an IQ in the 90s - I think that's fodder for all those who question the validity of IQ tests.
