The 10,000 hours meme (if it is that, it seems more of an observation to me) is not to be taken literal.
If you take it literal, then yes, it is nonsense, it is not that until the 9999th hour you are going to be bad at something and then suddenly, boom magic.
What it means - and what I've found to be very true - is that to get better at something you need to put in time and you need to practice your trade.
Nobody is born a 'great programmer', sure there are some differences in talent but I've seen guys go from bad to mediocre to good to excellent just by applying their trade and learning their lessons. Some of the kids I taught a decade ago that were struggling with basic concepts now run circles around me. That's proof enough to me that there is some truth in the 10,000 hour rule.
You can disagree with the writer all you want but in practice he does seem to have a point.
And for all your aggressive use of language you so far do not seem to have one. If you want to show that something is not true you have to provide counterexamples, not simply jump up and down using foul language telling people to stop.
