I always wondered where the idea came from that experts were born?
Of course they are made. It's just that, when accounting for the sheer level of averageness that people in general display, someone that becomes expert either quickly, or at a shockingly young age, is so abnormal a creature to our society that it is assumed they must have possessed some genetic predisposition or somehow miraculously been born with the skill.
Whatever their skill, it was simply learned with expert levels of rapidity.
