It matters less, but the lack of numeracy means many people are befuddled by the most basic math related conversations, statistical conversations (polling), fraction or rate based (APR? Taxes???) things - all over the place.
Learning the basics and drilling them is a useful skill even if you can make the machine do it for you.
But most of those people befuddled by these things were drilled in it, but do not know how to apply it. Drill without understanding.
