MODERATORS
A chemistry teacher I had like a decade ago used to insist that being good at chemistry has a great correlation with being good at baking, because both are about following recipes. I'd say that video disproves that claim.
He’s right for the wrong reasons. Chemists and bakers were able to connect the dots of “when I do this, that happens” in a way other people cant.
My wife is proof that the recipe doesn't matter. She bakes like most people cook, a pinch of this, a pinch of that, oops too much that, maybe more of this... Rarely does it come out too bad.
Maybe good at actual synthesis but there's loads about chemistry that isn't solutions in beakers
Assuming your teacher is right humans are fuzzy data points and an anecdotal counter-example does not disprove the trend.
