Yes.

The average American has between a sixth and ninth-grade understanding
of mathematics, depending on who's doing the study.  Other countries are
not substantially better except for school-age children.

People who are mathematically literate tend to way, way, _way_
overestimate the mathematical literacy of average people.  Good popular
science writing aims for about an eighth-grade level of literacy.

Very, very few eighth graders have the mathematical chops required to
understand asymmetric cryptography.  Even the concepts involved will be
largely incomprehensible.

A little sympathy is probably more appropriate than a little incredulity.
