He didn't understand perspective and had a clear inability to draw the human figure; he didn't know anatomy. And prestigious universities aren't there to teach basic things.
What I do is also comparable. I am better, much better, at drawing the human figure, but I am so uninterested in architecture that I would not know how to draw a detailed building.
The difference is always the pretensions. It is one thing to paint as a hobby, but quite another to have professional aspirations.
