Thank you for your comment. You bring up a very important distinction between three elements: skill, experience and time horizon. Each can be used to measure a person’s ability. I will talk about this more as we continue this discussion of time horizon.

If I give the same task to two different people, inevitably they will complete it at different rates based on their skill level and/or familiarity of the task. Doesn’t that skew the measurement?
