You have ten fingers with two opposing thumbs, that gives you the ability to grasp as well as to play the piano - how well you pick raisins out of a cake or how well your piano play depends on the skill you developped in the use of your basic ability.

It also shows that a basic ability can lead into a number of very different skills. The issue with the your thumb example is that thumbs are a physical feature rather than being an ability itself. The point I was trying to get at is that some may think Semblance is either there or not with no varying levels of skill involved.
