Are pure mathematicians unprepared to strictly keep in mind realities various rules and physicalities when going off into the infinite fantasy realm of pure numerality?

The Physicists score higher on the GRE than the mathematicians and appear to lead the way for Mathematical research quite often. Mathematicians also seem perfectly incapable of handling rigorous hardcore physical reasoning while physicists usually can by hook and by crook figure out the abstract math in spite of their lack of training from a young age in the techniques of formalized mathematical proofs. My gut feeling is that the physicists are slightly more intelligent and significantly more adaptable than the Mathematicians.
