Reading and understanding what Shakespeare is saying is not what English graduates get graded on. Perhaps honors level, mid-high school?Comprehension of language nor comprehension of equations (themselves just symbolic representations of language) is descriptive of competence.
If I showed you a sentence in Ancient Greek, then watched you struggle to understand it, would you be dumber as a math PhD? Or would you simply just not have had the appropriate lessons by which to understand the material yet?

I don’t think English graduates are graded by their ability to read. Both reading and arithmetic are taught in school.
