All the actions to build a quality vehicle are mundane. Mill, drill, tap, dimensional control, assembly, welding, and painting. More often than not what stops the process most is accountants buying parts from the low bidder. It’s so bad that we normally have the suppliers in the plant inspecting their parts before they go into the system. I know this happens at domestic and foreign-domestic car plants.

I don’t think excellence is only that. It also means recognizing patterns and links between actions and results. If there isn’t talent, intellect to do that then excellence is nothing more than diligence of what is known.

Since every person is different not all that is known is adaptable to any person. A person also have to know himself.

A swimmer, in this case, has to recognize what actions would improve his results. That could be from changing a technique to brute force training some action.
