IIRC the ten thousand hours thing was ten thousand hours of tutored practice at a level appropriate to the learner. I can see Clark running into the limitations of other people’s performance rather than his own as a bottleneck.

The important factor is that it is deliberate practice. Tutors are useful but not as necessary during the practice (this obviously varies depending on the degree and kind of feedback required).

In particular where the information is not yet contained in all the textbooks and internet resources currently in existence his learning will be much slower. He’ll have to invent the science (or engineering) himself as he goes.
