These people have devoted a good part of their lives to the study and practice of their art form and have much to teach the rest of us.

Super analogy Kurt. I’ve spent hours watching musicians play different stuff and trying (often in vain) to recreate the exact riffs and sound they produce. As you say they are true masters (artists?) and that’s who we always end up learning the best stuff from.
