I do not believe the two are necessarily the same. Could one become an expert without achieving mastery?

Common sense plays a greater role in success than repetition. Repetition is induced blindness assisted by a numbness of the brain. This method is proven to work in situtations where the task never changes. Failing to apply accumulated knowledge to accepted theory results in a tunnel vision affect that can lead companies into a false sense of security leading to the corporate collapes seen in 2008 and 2009.

Some of the professors I had for my Masters were having 20 years experience - enough said. :) -Harish Somehow this reminds me of “Those who can DO, and those who cannot call themselves an expert”

Now if it has to be 10M hours more or less to be called an "expert" I don't know. Remember the definition: "An expert is somebody who knows more and more about less and less". More hours, more knowledge? I don´t think so. I know people that can master a subject in a very short time and some that prefer o need more time. I am in the second lot. As for continuous improvement, don't we teach that the PDCA cycle is a "never ending" cycle? So why putting a limit to it? It has always been true.
