Far be it from me to suggest politicians and political advisors are "illiterate rubes", however I can tell you with confidence that in my experience politicians don't like numbers and models and won't listen to you if you try to tell them about them. Fundamentally this means that even when they're not actually illiterate, they are functionally illiterate (unless of course said model serves their political interest exactly).
