Haha! I find your honesty very refreshing and it makes me smile because I am not the only one thinkining this.
Some are born with talent and some without. Some are born with no talent for handling their talent. It is something they have to learn. And its tough.

And some are born with a great talent for handling their complete lack of talent. Thats also something. The world is full of people like this. Its very obvous in the arts because Art is very unforgiving. They get away with it because of people with Emperor's New Clothes Syndrome.

They are not lazy, like some very talented artists can be unfortunately. Their drive keeps them up all night. "Someday someone will find out that I have NO talent." Even they know that they can't fool all the people all the time.
Its when they start posing as 'artists'...thats when I want to just outright laugh at their faces and say oh please...believe in your self but dont believe in your own hype..its the beginning of the end.
I think to be successful is wonderful and well done to anyone who is. But I also know that people who step over others in order to be successful never know real success.
So I think its time for really talented people to get a grip, and start honing their skills on how to handle their work, image and talent. Its the best answer to the monsters in the biz. Devo bhutam devo yajet...become God in order to worship God and its the best way to vanqish all injustice.
This is my humble opinion.
