I've found that the answers on BAUT tend to be as complex or simple as the particular post requires them to be. As evidence, I've had many of my questions answered, whereas my understanding is limited to the basic high-school science classes I took a decade ago.

The complaints usually come from people who are challenging established ideas, or attempting to establish new ones. You cannot change the world's understanding of science without being able to accurately describe your observations. Oft times, math is the key to doing just that.

The math / science requirement at BAUT is certainly context-dependent.
