There are the odd exceptions (no pejorative implied).
I, as well, do not find math to be the most difficult aspect
of existence. However I have, on occasion, encountered those that do.
I have a sneaking suspicion that the difficulty did not involve
the oppression of society expressing itself in the synthesized
guise of a plastic nimnull.

Or how's about "Facing up to reconciling getting relative personality
angst with general existential morality is tough, especially in
a quantal house with Ken."
That's probably one reason why Mattel didn't ask me.
