I told this to my supervisor at work a few years ago and he looked at me and said, "Of course there are." I felt silly, because he was talking about automating a simple repetitive process of record keeping.
To me the quote is about practice and ability. There is no substitute for the experience of continual practice, play and performance to improve basic skill and talent. This experience cannot be faked. Every athletic genius needs experience of playing many games to refine his talent to an effective level.
Reading the news today I am reminded that the problem with shortcuts is that people think they can get something for nothing. This is a very seductive idea, but it never works. You always pay a price for everything, either hidden or obvious. You never really get something for nothing, but the price you eventually have to pay may be not at all obvious.
