But until we know something provable about genetics and mathematical aptitude this line of thought is just hand-waving. You still don't know any better than any

But until we know something provable about genetics and mathematical aptitude this line of thought is just hand-waving. You still don't know any better than anybody else why somebody is having a hard time with math.

That's why I said it seems "just as plausible" as the alternative. Its the article that's making the more definitive statements, not me. Besides, I think there's a reasonable amount of science that makes the argument for genetics over nurture quite compelling, but 20 years of malpractice and misdirection in the social sciences obfuscated that.
