Calculus and programming are in two different leagues of complexity, and most programming doesn't require a knowledge of calculus.

Like any other skill, programming comes more easily to some than others, but with the right approach can be acquired by anyone.

Calculus classes are more passable than programming classes, and the claim you're making is just pulled out of your hat, made in such a way that you could never be found wrong, because no matter what you could just say you're not taking the right approach.
