The language brain is more important than the math brain for reading the first lesson on how to program in Python. Fixed that for you.

Does answering a quiz on the contents of the first lesson on how to program in Python really encapsulate anything concrete about who will and will not be able to actually program in Python?

I've always been disturbed by the disconnect between "first lessons" on programming languages and how I personally actually learn programming languages. I can't help thinking that the researchers have measured something else other than whether people have learned to program.
