Not necessarily true. Taste is super subjective, only you can decide whether you think something tastes good.

And of course, it takes a long time to taste something and realize exactly what it misses or what causes it to taste good, but as long as you are able to test out different recipes you'll eventually end up with quite a few dishes that taste great.

The point was plateauing, not that what you make doesn't taste great to you. Making stuff that tastes great to an average person isn't hard, you'll reach there really quickly, it is improving after that point that is hard.
