I don't think that he would have gotten a grade below C in calculus if he had spent all waking hours talking about calculus with me for 6 months.

Of course he would have gotten an A. The difference between being good and bad at math is whether you need to "spent all waking hours talking about calculus" to get an A.

You seem to be nitpicking over a semantic issue at this point. With considerable due respect, you have better things to do.
