The master has learned from his failures. And doesn't make the same mistake again.

The other guy doesn't learn from mistakes.

Playing 10000 hours of chess for example will not make you a master. You can even decline in skill as you could reinforce bad habits. Unlearning bad habits is alot harder. Negative progress is possible.

You're absolutely correct. However the problem with that analogy is that you're assuming that if you're not a master you've failed. Which I don't believe is the case.

Even if you're not a master after 10,000 hours, you're still going to be really good.
