“Igonvalue” Gladwell is not responsible for the 10,000 hours meme either. The single person who has done most for the expertise research literature is K. Anders Ericsson but he didn't do it alone. To associate intellectuals and researchers with Gladwell is to do them a disservice.

/Redde Caesari quae sunt Caesaris/ ... you're right!

Gladwell widespread the idea to the public though.

And Norvig made usage of this meme for the programming field in a short summary.
