Generating solved math problems is trivial, like making AlphaZero play itself in chess. Sparse Data is not the problem. Refusing to use it is.

I don't think it's so much a refusal, as that it's not been a sufficient priority for anyone before. As the article points out there are now a few training sets which includes math problems, and models which do well on them. But the remaining problems seems to be with basics which humans tends to learn to do consistently with a lot of repetition, and it'd be interesting to see those datasets extended to the very simple.
