Assuming you meant "Software Engineer" not "Computer Engineer". >> Acquires knowledge that survives when tools die I would actually agree with this, the kicker is though this "acquired knowledge" is not CS knowledge - it's understanding of how to get shit done in the "real world" and is not something you can easily acquire by reading a CS book.
