No, it's totally about the way minds work.
There's nothing stupid about not having a science mind. In fact, almost the opposite - I'd argue skills in other areas, languages etc are harder to achieve. If you can "do" high level maths and science it's rarely necessary to put much effort in, for a start.

except aren't languages
and maths in the same area of the brain and use some of the same skills?

Since I stopped all science past GCSE and only did AS maths I'm no expert. I understand that's nowhere near the level being talked about, but it really wasn't very hard

Don't think so
no. languages rely on memory and rules. being really, properly good at maths is the ultimate, real "thinking outside the box". All bets are off, all rules are off, it's only about how your mind works on problems.

I should point out I'm not, by those standards, good at maths at all. But I collaborate with people that are, and they are scary.
