Talk:Mathematical maturity

I started this page because mathematical maturity is a very useful concept commonly discussed in mathematical circles, but without an explicitly named analog in most other fields. For example, in computer science and linguistics practitioners talk around the concept but don't have a handy label for it. In computer science it is just "experience" and in linguistics it comes out in "whether or not you can do phonology" (which is loosely analogous to doing mathematical proofs). I hope others who have thought about this topic can expand on this rough start. It's hard to explain, as "experience" would be, but I hope the examples demonstrate the basic idea in a way that is understandable to the non-mathematician.
