I'm sure Philo's points are truer for non science classes.
A motivated student at Iowa State is going to get better at English Literature than a lazy student who barely skates through Brown. But the same is much less likely to be true in Physics. Innate intelligence, unfortunately plays too great a part.

Taraz and Tame Dueces,
Disagree with this? If so, why? How are you using the definition of intelligence differently to DS?

The definition of intelligence is too narrow. You can be very intelligent at some mental tasks and not especially adept at math.
And if you are very adept at math you might be bad at some other mental task, and thus not be very intelligent when using those as a measure.
