I keep waiting for people to start calling it an improvement in the expertise of the task, but researchers in general wrote expertise out of the areas deemed worthy and interesting to investigate. The reasons for doing so are many, but the main one seems to be that research tends to be always searching for the low-hanging fruit, easy to study with current methods, and leaving the tougher more fundamental problems for later.

I like this guy’s videos because he shows how many hours it takes to learn what seem like simple skills. Excellent for giving a dose of reality to your kids before they get frustrated.
