How long had they been playing before they could manage a cold high C? Presumably all started as beginners on the lower range that was accessible to them?

This kind of talk is a sore spot with me - I had a number of teachers who theoretically knew what they were doing who were unable to help me, who didn't begin to grasp the mechanical problems I was having.
I think the more accurate statement is it's possible if a particular student practices, and has chops that are cooperative.
