Gladwell's 10,000 hour Rule meme is Over Simplified - More like 20,000 or even 200 relative to Endeavor...

Lately I am hearing this meme about 10,000 hour rule to be a master at something -  again - but as usual the wrong person gets the credit for the actual study cited by Malcolm Gladwell who simply made it a meme with a simplified phrase. A little over simplified and if anything it may take 20,000 to become a master but relative to what you are doing - it could also take just 200! Interesting follow up article by person involved in the actual research/study that led to the true-but-not-so-much 10,000 hour rule meme...
