I mean, that's fair, but growing past that is also part of learning to be an effective engineer. It's not always a comfortable process - it sure wasn't at first for me! - but that's often true of any kind of growth.

I think it's better described as a skill than as a talent, too. The former is learned, the latter innate, and as someone with absolutely none of the latter, I can attest that the former is attainable nonetheless.
