One should never make another person feel bad for any self-admitted lack of mathematical knowledge, ever. I know a bit of math myself, and sometimes I do ask such questions as "have you heard of 'math concept X' or ' physics concept Y'?", however, my reaction to someone saying "I don't know what that is," is never a negative one. If anything, it's the opposite of the one described in the article: I am filled with excitement. (In particular if I know that the other person would benefit from knowing 'math concept X.') I love it whenever I get the chance to test myself and see if I can share/explain something properly. If I can make it interesting. I am testing to see if I understand it myself (kinda like using the Feynman Method in a conversation?) If I leave that conversation without the person having "won/learned" more than me through the exchange, that's a failure on me, not them.
