What if the tremendous success and conceptual cohesion of the unified code base of mathematics is largely the result of bad math teachers making the field unattractive to all but the smartest and most tenacious students?

Interesting thought. What if it's just an emergent property of the way maths is structured? With great teachers perhaps we would be further along the path to connecting seemingly unrelated branches?

Most difficult problems don't progress faster if you add more people of average ability to your team. There are no LOC metrics in mathematics.

This is a fallacy, adding more people does not mean adding more average people and people opting out because of bad teachers does not mean you are adding more capable people into the system

I think that CS may have gotten worse while getting larger, better paid and having much better school teaching than in my day. The rate of innovation is lower, and there seems much more busywork.
