Not surprising. A lot of us probably qualify or come very close and the deciding factor is how much effort we expend to get there.

Meanwhile, I've got friends that live on welfare and legitimately couldn't understand neural networks (or even algebra) if they spent their whole lives dedicated to it. They are still excellent people, but perhaps mathematics isn't their best subject.
