Reminds me of "mathematical maturity", that you can't understand mathematics on its own, but need much background. In this way, maths is more like an Arts than Science subject, and evaluated similarly. And is perhaps a reason mathematics seems to simply and "unreasonably powerfully" explain the world - it's not simple.
