With training (remember that?) and practice, one could vastly improve. It’s called a growth mindset.

You know what training takes? Time

That’s fine.

So we’re in agreement? A mathematician can’t immediately be or replace a good physicist, it takes some certain time to transition.

It’s an investment.

So we’re in agreement? The time of investment for growth is the point of decision, and how long it takes to train specialists defines if it’s worth it.

I.e. how long would it take to train a regular driver to drive the inde 500 vs buying a racers contract

Want me to agree that training takes time? Ok, but what a boring revelation. It doesn’t take much time in the grand scheme of things. I can read a substantial book each week, for example. Give a person a half ~salary and let them study and train for a month +/-, they’ll be ready to contribute.

What if I need someone to do the job right now? And there are such candidates available? Should I still hire an under qualified citizen?

Good thing you planned ahead and trained a person last month, so they're able to start today.

People in the recent past were not so short-sighted.

Good thing every single requirement is known in advance. It’d be a shame if things changed faster then a snail, limitations we’re fully understood, and the geopolitical situation doesn’t change by a tweet.

Edit: actually, what job do you have in mind that never changes? Honestly it sounds relaxing
