Likewise with being a lawyer. They need a VERY keen eye for detail. Can that be picked up over the years through various classes and training, or does the person have to have the natual ability to pick out that detail.

Aw, crap.
Back to the topic.
I think knowledge, like sports, depends on your natural ability. To be the best (or even to reach a certain level) you must have some natural talent. Of course you'll also need to work hard at it, but some people, no matter how much they may want something, simply can't do it.
Personally, I think the whole "You can be whatever you want to be as long as you work hard!" thing is a load of crap.You can't be everything you want to be, even if you give it your all, or else a lot more people would have their wishes granted.
A bit pessimistic, excuse me.
