I have no scientific evidence but anecdotal is good enough for me. It has to be right because I can think of no other explanation for how easy geometry was and how hard algebra was. Especially after all my teachers told me what a miserable failure I would be in geometry considering how poorly I was doing in algebra.

I loved doing those proofs and theorems too and I don't remember any of them now either.
