Maybe they’re defensive because readers keep complaining about not understanding the math they use?

  So the retort is to imply that they didn't understand the math they had in school? To me it comes off as somewhat douchy.

    How is it douchy? If I write a book about calculus and people say it's too hard, because they don't know what a function is, is it then not more then fair to say to them they should first know some basic math before attempting to understand my book? That's basically just helping the reader to me and not condescending in any way.
