Cedric Chin changed my mind on deliberate practice. Or maybe he pointed out the obvious to anyone who has tried to apply it to a mushy domain. DP is premised upon having a teacher and pedological method that you can hit hard.

Otherwise, you have to do something not quite DP. But that's ok, because in a mushy domain just acquiring the tacit knowledge that the experts have will put your far ahead ( because the pedological method and real coaches don't exist yet).

But yeah, it's not deliberate practice and reading books on deliberate practice might not help you much.
