Tim Ferriss says his unfair advantage is asking dumb questions that unlock deeper understanding. He reaches competence in six months, but claims he can get anyone else there in three months using the same questioning framework.

What is your unfair advantage? It is an ability to ask unusual questions. Also ask the dumb questions. When I'm trying to learn something from someone, from a book, from a video, it doesn't matter. I consider myself a fast learner at this point. And if I can get to point X in 6 months, which is going to be usually pretty good, sometimes super impressive, sometimes not, depends on the thing. But overall, on average, I'm going to learn things very quickly because I have a method at this point. If it takes me 6 months to get to point X, I can get almost anyone to that same point in 3 months or less.
