It was never intended to be a particularly strong one, or anything more than a one liner, really.
I don't agree that because there is a biological marker for the amount of time athletes put into honing their skills that they are suddenly more applicable at marketing those skills. I'm going to budge on that about as much as you're going to anything else.
Even attempting to think within your logic, athletes make millions of dollars for their extra effort, Let's Players make... about five thousand if they're lucky.
I seriously don't see how they haven't clocked enough hours mastering their skills to have earned the extra bread and cheese that most of them make from their channels.
Note: I'm obviously not talking about the more popular Let's Play channels such as Game Grumps, but even they do not make more then ten or twenty thousand, and I doubt they even come close to it.
