I would guess people like me then. I love math but find looking at math the way that math is normally presented is exhausting. When it's pictures and expressed in a real tangible way I can get the concepts very easily. Higher level math is too abstract for me to understand by looking at equations.


Disclosure: I loved how math was normally presented: Layer upon layer of abstraction, connected by proofs. Hog heaven.

But most people hate it that way. So I wonder if a better way to present statistics is to start with a random number generator and graphs. In fact, despite my love of equations, these days I haul out the random number generator anyway, to check whether my equations make sense.
