"No" because Greatness is a relative trait. You can only be 'great' compared to those around you.
"Yes" because just about anyone can reach a standard that we would currently consider "great".
Of course, then the scale would readjust and everyone would be 'just' ordinary rather than great, but the world would be better off...
