There's a difference between quantifying and proving. You can prove that a good work ethic will make you better at your chosen skill, be it baseball or writing. If you take two players with the exact same potential but one practices every day and one practices once a week the player who practices every day is going to get better, quicker, than the player who only practices once a week. It's not like the idea of "clutch players" which can't realistically be proven. I don't think something needs to be able to be quantified, but at the very least it needs to be able to be proven to exist.

Note to self: Princess Kenny was really off-putting.
