No, I am not saying this. I am saying that people who too
casually say how "basically" easy a field of study is, usually
are forgetting, abstracting, all the steps that got themselves to
the position they are in. You might be surprised to know how
common it is for teachers in many fields, no matter how hard, say
this sort of thing, nothing particularly special about our
squabbling crowd here on that score. <g>

You are not wrong. "Incredibly easier" is still a comparative
relation and not an absolute one. It is not like being handed a
red hat to wear by some teachers.
