Why do you think understanding math requires hard work?

[esperent]

I have a degree in math. I've since moved onto 3D graphics rather than pure math, but I think I was fairly good at it. I can tell you it was damn hard work to get my degree. The only guy in my year whom it all seemed to come easy, I later found out was the son of one of the professors and had been essentially studying for the degree since he was 13.

<sarcasm> How do you know it’s not entirely genetic? </sarcasm> Reading HN would make one think education is irrelevant.
