People who apply deliberate practice to a working causal model often level up astonishingly quickly.
This is (sort of) true but I think you’re overstating it. For instance, TIm Ferris’ whole thing is about breaking down skills into functional causal models, and he certainly does a good job of becoming proficient at them, but you’ll notice he never becomes EXPERT at them.
Similarly, Josh Waitzkin also wrote a whole book about learning and breaking down skills into causal models, but still wanted at least 5 YEARS to train BJJ 24⁄7 before being comfortable going to the world finals (he never actually ended up going to the world finals so we’ll never be sure if this was enough time).
Your example below is a solo skill, but I wager if it was a competitive skill you’d find that while you outpace your peer newbies, it still feels quite slow to catch up to veterans.
I suspect something similar with disagreements. Someone skilled at disagreements can take a deep disagreement that would have taken 10 years and turn it into 5 years. But that’s still 5 years.
