I think your misunderstanding the point. The student was more interested in his timeline than he was in what was actually involved in learning the skill. His statement regarding ten years to mastery being "too long" is the point to this parableI never liked that parable, you think Michael Jordan never strove to be the best? Or if we are going to keep it to swordsmanship, Miyamoto Musashi?
Its like the student whos first question is "how many years till I get my black belt?". You get it when you deserve it.
