Someone should tell the mathematicians if they use a calculator or a whiteboard or heavens forbid a computer they are "bad at math".

1) That's not related to chain of thought I was replying to. Someone asked about the "bad at math" and pointed out "but it seems good to me" so I added the color of why that might be the case. Your retort seems to imply I'm making an argument that because something uses tools for a job it cannot be good at the thing it's using a tool for. Which is not the case.

2) If you have something to say, just say it. Don't put words in my mouth and then argue with a thing I didn't say.
