Do you perhaps mean "Why not believing in them closes doors of opportunity"? Edit: After finally getting some sleep, I see what you mean, sorry!
No, I was trying to express that by believing some folks are "math people" is a fixed and limited view of life. Anyone, short of some traumatic brain injury, or severe cognitive impairment can learn to be good with math and recognize where math can improve his/her life. I apologize for being unclear.

I agree, people limit themselves when they develop a distaste for math, or claim that they're predisposed to performing poorly at it. Math serves as a great tool for sharpening the mind. There are many other skill sets worth pursuing, but math is one of my favorites.
