This. And we do a huge disservice to tons of people by basically instilling the opposite idea. So many of the people I know that either claim they are "not math people" or who claim they "dislike math" say this because they were subject to nothing but tedious calculation in school and were never show the logical, conceptual, and actually interesting parts of mathematics. I despised math until I read Frege's foundations of arithmetic in college since it was the first time I ever had someone actually show the point and make it interesting.
