Think of art in place of acting for this question. Chances are, you can tell the difference between a skilled artist and someone who struggles with stick figures.

Doesn’t mean that you’re automatically going to be able to draw yourself, but that you’re going to recognize skill versus not.

Couple that with a strong sense of “skilled” vs “unskilled” that is taught to us by society (we celebrate everything competitively, just watch the Oscars, heh), and soon you fulfill the phrase “Everyone’s a critic”.
