I agree with most of what your say but I'm not sure how it relates to the points in the article?

The author suggests that talent "doesn't exist", which is pretty clearly false.

My read was that talent, as discussed in bullshit mba speak, is meaningless. Which I can easily get behind. Most MBA speak is just a cloak for confirmation biases.

1. You put quotes around the phrase "doesn't exist" to imply those were the words used but ctrl+F "exist" returns nothing relevant.

2. I don't think the article body suggests that at all and the article title specifically modifies its claim with the word "largely".

I look at swizec's reply as defining some attributes of talent (something the article says is not generally defined when people talk about talent)..
