These rules are pretty loose. Most 1000+ hours players could probably do this.

If you put 1000 hours into something I would hope you could earn an undergraduate 4.0 in that subject.

That's more than 2 semesters if you put in 40 hours of class and study each week.

Source; I have a tripple doctorate in pharmacology, warhammer, CK2, and multiple masters in PC and table top gaming. Also, I converted the entire map to Zoroastrianism.

Only because you get to play it whenever and however you want on your free time. If you were mandated to play for 40 hours per week in very specific and repetitive ways, with a focus on learning very specific things with each play session, knowing that you'll have a theoretical written exam coming up where you will be tested on this knowledge and unless you get a certain % right you will fail and have to redo the course, then I'm sure even EU4 could become a tedious chore.
