Aren't those who have done so snapped up by businesses, for good reason?
It's obvious that the more poorly educated in the CUK congregation lack thinking skills.
But what's more worrying is that our leaders Cameron (PPE - requires AS level maths only) and Osborne (History) probably can't think straight.

Not gonna read through 11 pages. I agree.

My maths / physics based degree set me on a course that encompassed computer science, music and just about everything in between, doing research in itself trains a particular mindset.

I'm studying Maths now for fun. Of course having gone through the rigour successfully means you probably have above average logico-analytical skills, but that's not sufficient for true intelligence.

But physics and computer science both make extensive use of mathematics.

I think it's more likely that one needs to be able to think straight to study a rigorous subject at a good university.
