And at the elite level, that disparity is still huge.

The NFL has 32 football teams. Any quarterback outside the top 10 or so is considered 'bad' by most people. Assuming each team has a backup quarterback, out of the 64 'best' people in the world to do that job, only the top ten are so are safe from being called 'bad at their job' on any given Sunday.

There's also a story about a UFC fighter who went 0-3, and people called him a terrible fighter. Someone from his hometown mentioned how he was the toughest guy in town and one day beat up 4 guys and 5 cops at a bar all by himself, and he was only a 155lb fighter.

You are proving the point though. Sure, there is variance among 64 out of the (say) 1000000000 people who could possibly be a quarterback. But most people could probably be in the top .1% of quarterback talent in the population if they trained hard for it.

EDIT: I think I may have uncharitably read your comment as being argumentative instead of informative.
