Your thoughts on that?
I don't think this is what anyone is saying.

Everyone can be trained so that they improve their skills and abilities. However, not everyone will be able to perform at a professional level. And among those that perform at a professional level, a few will be mind-blowingly great but most will not.

There is a huge difference between acknowledging that people have differing skills, abilities, intelligence, etc., and ACTING on that knowledge in such a way as to exclude people from receiving education and opportunities to improve.
