For any individual, there is a limited time to study material. Any time that is allocated to study, for example, statistics, is time not spent on studying, as an example, a new computer language paradigm. I am also surprised how some computer engineers take mathematics/statistics lightly. Even so, I understand that there is a pragmatic path in trying to do one field well (computer engineering), versus spreading effort across more fields. If knowing mean and variance suffices for work, then knowing it is good enough.
