A lot of the short comings of new math came from the fact that it assumed that the fundamentals of math were simple and easily understood.
Doing real algebra without something like the Kunth Bendix algorithm is somewhere between pointless memorization and the equivalent of a mathematical lobotomization.
That it wasn't invented until 1970 shows us just how poor we are at mathematics.
