I do not think our views on the issue contradict at all.
Maths may not relate on how you structure code, but (as I see it) an early start with a little dose of maths on understanding algorithms, may make your brain understand the elementary stuff easily, and make you think like a programmer. Are there any other introductory ways to get there? Sure, why not.
My third paragraph was referring to what I have seen on the people that do not think as programmers. Not as a matter on how they got there, but as how they never got there.
