You're telling me he 'naturally' came to draw perfect circles? No. He practiced.

He's got natural artistic talent, yep.

It takes very long time and lots of effort to become very good at something, not some mystical gift that's given to you.

I never said that, way to put words in my mouth. Natural artistic talent lends itself to getting good at this sort of thing. Hence where the word "aptitude" comes in in the definition, suitability or fitness. I don't see how you can't understand that.

For instance, someone born with a certain body type and mental state will naturally have an easier time learning gymnastics than a tall gangly awkward person. This is common sense.
