It May Be True That People Who Are Merely Mathematicians Have Certain Specific Shortcomings; However That Is Not The Fault Of Mathematics, But Is True Of Every Exclusive Occupation. Likewise A Mere Linguist, A Mere Jurist, A Mere Soldier, A Mere Merchant, And So Forth. One Could Add Such Idle Chatter That When A Certain Exclusive Occupation Is Often Connected With Certain Specific Shortcomings, It Is On The Other Hand Always Free Of Certain Other Shortcomings.
