Wouldn't it then follow that all students of the same teachers end up with the same skill level in math? Not sure that's the case.

Doesn't follow. Bell curve in, shifted bell curve out. Ideally this also tweaks the variance a bit.
In other words: Some students flourish despite their teachers, some flourish because of them.
And how would you call the students in the left tail of the Bell curve if not bad students?
Below average students and as long as the average is high enough they are still very competent.
A bad teacher instead gives you a bimodal distribution and just doesn't bother teaching those students.
Cantor gave his life to the Continuum Hypothesis, Hilbert gave much of his life to similar goals.
You’re making an argument somewhat along those lines, but given that I didn’t stipulate a convergence condition your conclusions can be dismissed by me.
If it were a valid argument then we’d need Gödel.
Did you mean to reply to another post? I don't follow at all.
