An interesting take on expertise, and while i only have a passing/cursory interest in the subject matter, it is a graduate level work. It expounds the field in terms of the acquisition of expertise and emphasizes practice over innate ability and although it does not denounce innate ability it claims that practice and continued effort is what truly makes expertise and therefore a good part of intelligence. Child prodigies without practice would likely not have the chance to make original contributions without first imbibing what came before them and applying it. Even creativity is not detached from the realm of experience and deliberate practice. Watson and Crick were able to guess at the possibility of the DNA resembling a helix because their previous experience ignited their creativity instead of hindering it like is sometimes believed. Their previous knowledge of and work with other proteins like Keratin gave them hints of possible protein shapes. And while there is no direct link for this to count as deductive reasoning it set the groundwork for the setup of their experiments and properties tested for. It was a good exercise of intuition through creativity and ultimately leads to scientific discoveries which are afterword, and not before, stitched together with a rational framework.
