It is true when you are trying to say primary and secondary school mathematics can be very related to numbers. But it is not true to say math graduate are very good in numbers just because that they studied mathematics as their degree. Mathematics related(except some university) degree actually studies more in "Mathematical language". The mathematical language is needed to solve problem or to state any theorem.

Numbers is just 1 of the way to solve problem. Mathematics do not need numbers to solve problem. Most of the time, knowing the theoretical part in statistical models more important than just presenting a rubbish model. Real world data rarely fit any statistical model well except that it is much possible to happen in physical science model. Of course that statistical model is useful to "predict" if the model assumption is correct and behaviour of the situation do not change much.

An accounting graduate should be better in numbers because there are so many numbers in accounting. If an accounting graduate is not good in numbers, how can the person do any accounting report? Numbers in accounting is not really mathematics.

Haha... Of course that there exists math graduates who tends to mislead people because he/she also may misuse the so-called "Theorem". (Not sure whether it happens due to the person with math degree really sucks in math or he/she just trying to mislead people).
