Ira Glass is a writer. Do you think he meant the taste-skill gap was when people couldn't physically write the words on the page they wanted?

I'm not Ira Glass, I have no idea what he meant. I would argue that taste-skill gap doesn't exist in writing either.

You either know what you want to write or you don't. If you hate the words you wrote, write something else. If you don't know what you want to write, that's undeveloped taste, not a gap preventing your from expressing your good taste.
