And one problem is that it's not a fixed limit as such.

Whenever we talk about success and failure among individuals with equal levels of ability, we inevitably start talking about personality traits relating to increased effort: perseverance, grit, motivation, work ethic, etc. Those are traits that a growth mindset seeks to promote.

I'm talking about the fixed limit once you add in maximum perseverance, grit, motivation, work ethic, etc.
