I already agreed that a leopard is more difficult to manipulate. But that is true of everyone. My point was that trying to understand calculus after algebra is like trying to visualize a leopard after seeing a cat. Consequently, your analogy of putting a naive child in a cage with a leopard doesn't hold. Students that are competent in algebra aren't naive. They are very qualified to handle baby calculus.
