Humans are incredible creatures, if you dedicate time and effort to something, you will likely improve substantially. The problem is that you would probably rather trade 10 years in one lump sum than 10 actual years of hard work and practice... because most people don't have the perseverence or drive to commit 10 actual years daily to this kind of mastery. That's why people like Ichika and Marcin here are so impressive, because they did spend that kind of time and effort.
