60. Because the boy proves (like any prodigy) that "natural talent" exists

Obviously practice can improve any skill. But there are some people that, for whatever reason, are born with skills that others have to work years-if not decades-to attain. Greg worked very hard to get where he is today, but that doesn't negate the fact that there are some very young but freakishly talented people out there who get there quickly because their brains are attuned for that, not because they study and work as hard as the rest of us do.
