I thought it might be, and if I'd read it elsewhere, I'd have been sure of it - but this is LessWrong, which is chock-full of hyperintelligent people whose abilities to do math, reason and visualize are close to superpowers from where I am. You people seriously intimidate me, you know. (Just because I feel you're so much out of my league, not for any other reason.)
For what it's worth, my ability to reason is fairly good in a very specific way-- sometimes I see the relevant thing quickly (and after LWers have been chewing on a problem and haven't seen it (sorry, no examples handy, I just remember the process)), but I'm not good at long chains of reasoning. Math and visualizing aren't my strong points.
