People with natural abilities don’t have to practice to succeed. This reminds me of my friend Franky; he could play guitar just like Eddie Van Halen, and he never practiced!

People who have real, demonstrable talent have got it made in this world! Everyone knows that a person with real capability doesn’t have to work a day for what the rest of us have to slave all our lives for!

The statement that is fair, focused, and complex is:

"A research psychologist recently published a case study showing that natural talent combined with consistent effort produces measurably higher success rates."

This statement acknowledges the interaction between natural talent and hard work, implying that while natural talent is important, it also recognizes the value of hard work in achieving success. It is focused on a specific study and presents a nuanced view rather than a simplistic claim.
