Well, yes, I probably could, but you're only correct to a point. For example, the language acquisition device that allows kids to learn languages naturally vanishes at puberty. After that age, you cannot learn another mother tongue like you can at age 3. If during the formative years between 10-13 when your higher cognitive processes begin to cement, you don't do math, you're stuck. I could do it, like I said, and learn it just fine, but it will always be a second language, if you will. Also, genetics play a large roll in what type of thinking you do best.
