I'm not sure if I didn't word it right, but I was (and am) agreeing with you. My point was that if you're saying they're using the force to improve their natural skills (ie math or whatever), then it makes sense. I'm not really sure how it would work in a film (I mean in terms of if it could be executed right), but I'd be open to the idea of the force being used for other stuff.They wouldn't be using math to wield the force, they'd be using the force to wield math. It's, fundamentally, no different than using the force to calculate where something should be shot, no less nonsensical than hitting a laser while blindfolded. The force guides correct action through entering the trance that lets your soul be connected to the rest of the universe. And then the force guides you to the right thing, by controlling you, guiding you, and there's no reason to think that can't be a keystroke as much as it is a sword swing.
Look, that's about as well as I can explain, but for me, there is no reason that a person couldn't use the force to solve a mathematical problem they can't solve otherwise or paint a portrait or write a composition of music that is impossible under normal standards. I'm still waiting for someone to realize that the force be be used for more than lifting rocks and write that story (even if lifting rocks is pretty cool and I have no problem with it). And that only works if I take Yoda at his word that the force is powered by belief, which doesn't just mean that his knowledge is incomplete, but that it MUST be incomplete, because someone out in the SW universe believes things that contradict him just as strongly.
And I think the Star Wars universe is just more interesting if one person doesn't have a monopoly on truth regarding the Force. It erases too much possibility otherwise.
And again, this adheres to Yoda's lesson to Luke. That if you believe in yourself and your abilities, you can accomplish great things. That could be art, music, math, physical feats, whatever.
But the same concept applies here. It's not limited to lifting an X-Wing.
Which is why the metaphor is so damn potent and relatable.
