I don’t doubt it. There’s some really ignorant people in the world, especially when it comes to math of any kind.
That reminds me a friend of mine that I had who has now passed on. We used to be neighbors. He used to say, “I’m really good with numbers.” Poor guy couldn’t even comprehend that the 1900’s were the 20th century. I just didn’t say anything, because I didn’t want to hurt his feelings.
I was comfortable with partial differential equations but still need fingers to count.
