This isn't the first time I have created a thread about this but fuk it it's ranting time.
I have never, ever seen anybody advance considerably in any given area through so called experience. I have however seen people with little to no experience instantly be good at something. Generally when somebody "improves" at something it's merely because they are still overcoming the initial learning curve and haven't yet figured out how things work. Once that initial phase is over (typically doesn't take more than a few weeks or months) their "improvement" stops. It's very rare for anybody's skills to evolve&improve considerably past the first several weeks or months. This is true for things that require intelligence (drawing, math, coding etc) as well as physical activities such as sport (despite what you are told 90% of your physical improvement will come within the first 6-8 months of training, after which point the laws of diminishing returns will start to kick in massively) and exercise.
90+% of any skillset is inborn innate ability. Forget about "learning" how to become good at something. You either are or you aren't. Just like with everything else.
