“Anyone who cannot cope with mathematics is not fully human. At best he is a tolerable subhuman who has learned to wear shoes, bathe, and not make messes in the house.”
—Robert Heinlein, writing as Lazarus Long.

Robert Heinlein was a bit of an arrogant ass, and not half as good a writer as his devotees make him out to be. That particular comment would have been right at home in the Third Reich.
However: Half the population (roughly) is below average. That's just a fact. Some people are less intelligent than others. The ability to understand abstract math requires more intelligence than some people have. That lack of cognitive ability does NOT make them less human.

Maybe we should just kill all subhumans who are forced to use calculators.
Engineers must be chiming in on this thread. Some of the most obnoxious people on FR in the ego dept.

Lazarus Long did not tolerate fools and neither should we.
