Not the point. It undermines the whole STEM promotion that the US is currently undergoing. You never hear anybody brag about how they no can read gooder, if they're an athlete, butcher, scientist, whatever.
In my experience the prevailing attitude of arts students towards science was that it was arcane, difficult and something reserved only for the smartest and most studious. Many science students, on the other hand, view liberal arts simply as a waste of time.
Neither attitude is particularly helpful.
It's only when I started to do technical writing that I let go of that attitude. It was quite humbling, to say the least.
I'm not ashamed of many of my faults, and I will gladly talk about them if they're contextually important, but I'm not proud of them.
