I didn't say it didn't exist. I said that it doesn't exist by itself. The distinction is important. To me all talent is a word used for when you can learn one skill faster than others. For example, you can say "Oh they have a talent for painting!" but they just have a better grip on the work and the aspects that go into painting. Someone without a "talent" for it can get to the same level if they work enough at developing their painting skills.
I wouldn't say talent is an inherent thing. Sometimes once you get over a hurdle in a task you start to understand it immediately. All anything ever takes is practice.
