It kinda reminds me of high school. Some people were really good at math Some were terrible at math but really good in art class.
The math people are usually the ones that get into the theory side of things and start talking about different modes and scales.
The arts people are the ones who just listen to the song and figure it out themselves and couldn't care less about the details.
