This just about summarizes what I was going to say.

Also the comparison to calculus (which most people consider hard) is confusing. So I did a little googling to see if I can figure out what percentage of people can do calculus. According to this link, https://nces.ed.gov/surveys/pi... , only about 10% of Americans and 12% worldwide are in the highest 2 groups of numeracy. So if we're comparing programming to calculus, I don't know that it's harder than calculus, but calculus is pretty hard for most people.

Journal Journal: Japanese Observatory: Sun Cooling, Soon to Have Four Poles 10

Officials of the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan and the Riken research foundation said on April 19 that the activity of sunspots appeared to resemble a 70-year period in the 17th century. Known as the Maunder Minimum, temperatures are estimated to have been about 2.5 degrees lower than in the second half of the 20th century. The researchers also found signs of unusual magnetic changes in the sun.
