I mean the parable assumes that the best pot people didn't think of maybe practicing a bunch before trying for real too. I guess the danger is they'd make an unusually good pot sometime in the middle and then lose interest in continued practice because they didn't think they could top it, compared to the 'most pot' people learning bad habits that make their pots uniformly suck and ingraining them deeply because they don't care about quality.
