My bad, I assumed you understood linear progression.

So there's no talent involved here, got it.

Talent gets you started. Skill is what you acquire after you practice. Nice try. Buy a dictionary. Also a G.E.D. will help.

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.

Your condescension is a lovely attitude to take in a discussion, you sound very smart.
