1. I am not nearly as athletically gifted as many other people and never will be and
2. If I practiced hard in any given sport, I could become better at it over time in a way my body might actually physically reflect..
Most HS quarterbacks could throw the football 80 yards when they were 12 and most running backs could do 5.0 or better 40 yard dash at the same age. Could a small set of kids not in football also be trained to do the same thing, sure. But most could not.
The same goes for Euclid's Elements. Sure you could drill kids on proofs and logic and some will learn, but will a majority be able to deduce proofs after all that training?
