I am sorry you do not understand what math does to change our emotional opinions to good reasoning.
No need to be sorry. My father has been teaching math long before I was born.... I know my math... I just don't confuse math as a substitutional change from emotional opinions to good reasoning.... as good reasoning still requires emotional opinions. Our emotions and our opinions are what gives us foundations for our reasoning, as we are not yet Androids such as Data just yet..... and counting numbers does nothing more different then learning from history and those who have lived through that said history.

Listening to the experience of these people, listening to the emotions in which come about from these past experiences, and learning how these actions and experiences have affected humanity of the time, beats trying to lean how to think by trying to figure out the square root of some number in an exercise of something you will most likely never encounter through your life unless you're a rocket scientist or something.... and I don't believe the average human is employed in that field.
