Your answer is particularly interesting because it explains some events that were unexplained for me before. I had some hope that analyzing why other subjects do not have this problem to such extent could suggest some approaches. Now, however, it seems that math and CS need a whole new point of view and education curriculum.

Math may lend itself more, and therefore be more..., caricaturized and subverted than other subjects.
