That still isn't a formula for success.

You see I'm assuming people are using the term quality to describe something desireable or useful.

You can repeat with precision the steps in a recipe for making mudpies and it still ain't gonna taste like cheescake.

Worse still, what if you're sold a recipe for cheescake and unbenounced to you, you've been give the steps to make mudpies. How do you know how to correct the 'correct' steps to actually arrive at cheescake.

People who sit down and practice the guitar regularily but never make progress are still following procedures correctly. They're just not following the right procedures that result in improvement. They are correctly following the the procedure for staying the same.
