Most of the math majors I know didn't have much trouble with proofs as 19-22 year olds. You're assuming a pretty low ability.

The parent mentioned children, and I mentioned a (very talented) 14 year old. You're talking about 19-22 year olds; I have no reservations about that age bracket tackling proofs, but that's not really the point.
