A bit of hyperbole hasn't hurt anyone (hopefully). I work with very good software engineers that were originally mathematicians, physicists, linguists, electronic engineers among others. But once they become software engineers, they kind of are just that. It tends to dominate all thought processes. It's not that they don't leverage their background, but software tends to eat the world.
