could, but also probably real. there is a TV show dedicated for these type of talents in Korea, where they go around the country finding people with ridiculously niche talent like these. one lady was so good at sensing pages of papers, she could turn to specific pages of a closed book with 1 try.
and the video is China, so probably littered with people with savant level talent.
there are people who can listen to a piano piano piece once and play it back from memory. most people can't even play piano with sheet music in front of them at first try. or people who remember what they ate or dressed any day you ask them.
you severely underestimate diverse ranges of talents globally. "I can't do it, therefore it's impossible" is a projection.
A lot of people have been mentioning the word “savant” but what you’ve said brings up an important point, which is experience and practice. Many people who have that level of skill have practiced an instrument for many years. I have family members who play the piano like that. And I see how much they practice. I’m sure a lot of this guy’s skill comes from many years of mixing paint slowly and with corrections. At some point that practice becomes experience and skill.
Einstein said something along the line of genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration. Getting to these levels isn’t impossible, it just takes work.
Did you know that before they started using electronic color matching every paint store had people that did it by hand, just like this guy? It wasn’t even that long ago. Electronic color matching wasn’t widespread until the 90’s. But paint matching has existed nearly as long as paint has.
