It is shared. It's just that everyone has to go through to mental work to truly understand. It takes me a semester to convince my students that 3x+5x=8x and that this is true because of the distributive property. And this is why ax+2x = (a+2)x. And the reason we can't simplify further is because our language does not have a word for (a+2) but it does have a word for (3+5). But I know that after a semester of teaching this most still don't actually understand the distributive property. It takes a lot of effort on the part of students for the concept to click.

Except, I can hardly see that. At least, I see you trying - most people do not make an attempt at all.
FYI, I am a Computer Scientist.
I never said it is easy.

And this experience that some people have already reached should be shared, not limited to a select coterie of people.
