Practice makes perfect.

Repeated effort produces mastery.

What They Mean

Do the thing again. Skill is accumulated through repetition, not acquired through intention.

Are They Right?

Substantially. Repetition is the only reliable route to competence. The perfection clause, however, is marketing; the record shows it delivers proficiency and stops there.

What They Left Out

Practicing a mistake makes the mistake permanent.

Official They Rating

7.5 out of 10

Essentially correct, mildly overpromised, and most effective when the practice is supervised by someone who can already do it.
