He said "expert in" not "good at".
Some things are impossible to be good at, but you can still be expert :-).
Some things "good" is relative. You may think you are good until one day ..=
..

... I have a friend who tells me that when she hears a pino note she
can hear all the component parts that make the sound (metal, wood,
felt, ..) and that  when somebody plays a piano she can "hear" how
their fingers strike every key - angle / speed / force. That took more
than 10,000 hours though :-). (Possibly 50,000 hours +) and she's
nowhere near as old as that may seem to suggest* . fwiw - She has 5
degrees and two related performance based professional qualifications
to suggest that she can actually do what seems impossible to me.

"Life" is more complex than that. Or is if you try to become
accomplished at a greater subset of it than most do. But, you knew
that :-).
