On people and mathematics

Just a random thought I have a some time ago. Why is dealing with mathematics easier than dealing with human ? I would propose this is because human is stateful while mathematics is stateless. It does not matter how many times you approach a Mathematics theory or problem, if you get/solve it, you get/solve it. It's different for human, if you leave a bad first impression, good luck.

This argument works for computers to a certain extent. Of course, a computer may be affected by virus or become bloated from all the applications installed in it, but you can format it and it's a lot more feasible to buy a new one. You can't really do that for people.
