What do you mean by "technical ability" ? I intended to include everything in math / physics / TCS / statistics under that umbrella, not just computation / engineering.
The most significant thing to my mind is actually the peer group – even if one doesn't become quantitatively sophisticated oneself, just being around people who are can make a big difference.
Hmm, I guess I don't understand what you meant by that. What is not a technical ability in your model?
I think that I erred in using the word "technical" at all. What I had in mind was "the academic subjects that are referred to as 'technical'", but I already used "quantitative," which covers that.
Sorry the confusion :P.
