Oh, yeah, I'm just pointing out that mathematicians are not well known for their people skills. They are not very accustomed to experimental subjects that behave messily and unpredictably, because numbers act the same every time. Biologists and psychologists and historians, on the other hand, are used to having messy unpredictable subjects.
