I can see why you thought I was confused; I agree the writing there is indeed awful. However, I was not confused at all. I had the same reading as you do on that paragraph.

I still stand by my statement that his statement reads as "Americans are lazy, amiright," since he declined to provide evidence that other nations have greater perseverance or that their algebra skills make no difference.
