Not to take away anything from mathematicians, but I suspect that this kind of math has a mental visual component that makes it different than the kind of abstract math that we associate with things like creativity and politics.
I mean the human brain was probably designed to solve problems that exist in a set number of computations to solve, whereas the greatest problems that the human race worries about, such as social and political problems, are far more abstract in conception, and so even comparing the difficultly isn't reasonable, let alone, you know, dealing with the difficulty.
