Caulfield: Malcolm Gladwell wrote that it takes 10,000 hours of practice to become truly proficient. Obviously that's rough, and open to nitpicking, but the basic theory is remarkably sound. Mrs. Olsen: Caulfield, what is your point? Caulfield: Don't get your hopes too high for this worksheet you're giving us 23 hours to do.

Exactly, Diane! Caulfield is going to have a very rough time in the adult world if he continues to think his cleverer-than-thou attitude will get him through life. It’s cool to be a free spirit. It’s cool to ask sincere questions. But sometimes – sometimes – you really need to just shut up and learn! There actually are people on this earth who know more than you. Don’t be a rebel without a clue!

So far I have seen no “theory” on this 10,000 hours is sufficient to become an expert in anything. Hypothesis at best. It isn’t a given as Caulfield is treating it.
