I reject the idea that "excellence" must always be the goal in pursuing an interest.

I think that's the fallacy the comic is pointing out. Rather than enjoying their interest, the alien thing is only happy if they're immediately good at it.
Yeah I'm excellent at being kinda good at a lot of stuff and that's good enough for me
Same. I'm excellent at like 4 things, everything else is just "yeah I got halfway not terrible and moved on"
I'm halfway not terrible at SO MANY things!
I agree. It’s more a side effect. The goal should always be enjoyment or some other form of enrichment. Curiosity would work too.
