"Can" isn't the same thing as "will".

I know. I didn't say all people. I can formally amend the above to say "I've
been trying to explain that some people can and do become skillful without
professional instruction" if that will help you.

That's the part you
refuse to accept and what Steve is trying to explain.

I agreed with that a long time ago, you just don't listen.

As I have said repeatedly - _some_ people can learn without
instruction; _most_ people cannot.

That sounds exactly like the statement I agreed to some time ago.

I would consider people incapable of learning without professional
instruction to be victims. It's a basic instinct for human beings to learn
through experience and observation. It's evidence that the culture of
professinalization has gone to far when we can now produce human beings
incapable of learning without professional instruction.
