Yes, I agree. I had a "humanities" style education - lots of essay writing, deep reading of classics in many languages. When I was 16, I burned my maths books under the apple tree. Then during my PhD I had to learn maths again. It taught me what a real argument was. Before then, I was blindly wandering in a sea of text. After it, I still appreciate the classics, but I understand the structure of argumentation far better.
