The other factor is an opportunity cost in just where you want to spend those 
ridiculous amounts of energy.  Like a nobel prize winning author might not care 
or even know just how to balance his checkbook, or a famous scientist might 
fall for a pitiful scam.  At a slightly more ordinary level, someone who likes 
distance running and researches up everything from footwear and diet to 
breathing techniques will probably detest maths as well.

I choose not to touch maths with a bargepole except where it has any relevance 
to me.
