Infinite skill ceiling is a feature, not a bug.
However, many cannot handle the ego damage that results from truly assessing their skill level relative to the best.
One of my favorite guitarists is Matt Bellamy of Muse. His ability to perform is absolutely world-class. I can get better at guitar all I want and I know it barely moves the needle when compared with him. The thing is, the better I get the more I notice in his playing and skills which makes me better understand the full extent of his skill.
