I think that if someone works hard enough, has the dedication, has a lot of patience, AND has a good attitude, then they can pretty much do anything they want in the realm of knowledge. I think an art history buff can definitely become a particle physicist if that person has all of the the above. However, I'm sure it will require much time and will certainly not be easy, but it is definitely attainable. .......

I agree, but I think you have touched on the key. I think a knack allows you to have the dedication, patience and I will add desire to learn something or develop a talent. Could I learn to be a math wizard? Maybe. But, because that is not where my interest lie I am not likely to devote the effort necessary to achieve in that area. Whereas I will spend ten times the effort learning and working at something that does interest me.
