The requirement is to have a population that is mathematically literate, and I'm afraid that it's not a goal. All the parties, marketing companies... They are all playing on emotions.

I mean, just look at the narrative today. For example: Why Police stops the group X more than average?! Racism! Hate! Inequality!!! No... The answer is math. Simple as that, tested in practice, saves the money, time and lives. But today, it's a taboo.

Coca-Cola is the best refreshment! No, it's not, the solution is way too concentrated :D
