I'm sorry, now you're gratuitously moving the goal posts.
I'm really not though. The vast majority of European universities require it the first year (if you want a 4 year track). Plenty of them take it in high school even.
As for MIT, you're right, it's not required first year but it is the second year. And there are universities below MIT where it's recommened first year and required second year.
But anyways, I was looking for this
Is it easier to bullshit through most majors than it is through math? Probably.
It's not a huge jump from this to say that you can't survive math.
That's not how competitive advantage works. Nothing "requires" competitive advantage
If the hours of studying needed is greater than the hours of studying you could do we have "requires".
that therefore you could walk into any other major and do well
I'm just claiming I could survive most majors, not do well.
I'm gathering you're an econ guy so how about I appeal to a higher power. From Mankiw's Blog
