Effective budgeting, decision-making, and resource allocation are certainly important traits that can contribute to the success of a complex society. However, it's important to recognize that these traits are not the only factors that contribute to effective governance and management.

In a complex society, effective governance requires a diversity of skills and perspectives, including but not limited to analytical and mathematical skills. Social, cultural, and political awareness are also important factors that can contribute to effective governance, as are leadership and comprehensive communication.

Moreover, while a certain level of analytical and mathematical skills is necessary for effective decision-making and resource allocation in some aspects of governance, the responsibilities of decision-making and resource allocation do not fall solely on the individual. In turn, allocation decisions can be made by an institution with more scientific knowledge and mathematical ability.

Therefore, it's possible for a society to function effectively with individuals who may not have strong analytical or mathematical skills in certain areas of governance, but still have other valuable skills, perspectives, and experiences to contribute. Through education and training, as well as effective governance systems, these skills can also be augmented and developed over time.
