I don't understand - how is this a loss for CS? You used algorithm analysis to identify an inefficiency an improved that inefficiency. That is what Computer Science is. CS is not its notation - it is the act of doing what you just described. The notation is just supposed to help. I don't understand the reduction of all of math and CS to complaining about people who overindulge their notations. I've been reading this recently, and it just affirms how important and ubiquitous mathematical thinking is everywhere in life: https://www.gatesnotes.com/Books/How-Not-to-be-Wrong https://www.gatesnotes.com/Books/How-Not-to-be-Wrong.

One side aims to justify a sunk cost and the other to prove themselves and it becomes a chain reaction whereby everyone becomes engaged in ego defense/vuln attack until someone goes "wow you are really intelligent" and breaks the cycle.
