If someone lacks vision yet is highly skilled in another area they would still lack vision if they were completely unskilled.
Do you honestly think, once you get to this magical "0.07%" skill barrier, you have to avoid learning or somehow skill and knolledge will pure out of an other part of your brain?
I don't think all the best coders are great visionarys as many mediocre programmers arn't either. But this idea that learning can somehow have a negative effect on your abilities is a destructive and surprisingly popular meme that need eliminating.
