Nobody made any of the points you claim -- about a humanities education contributing to CS excellence -- and you have been told this already, yet you insist on responding to this imaginary argument. Why you continue to do that is beyond me, nor is it clear to me why you think that abstract reasoning about nodes in a graph is the same as abstract reasoning about life and existence. Your argument -- inasmuch as you have presented one, between your fits of pettiness -- hinges on this idea, presented without any sort of justification, that all abstraction skills are equal. It's as silly as saying that a programmer must know linguistics, since programming results from the study and expression of a language. And therefore, the linguistic field of study presents no benefits over CS, since all programmers know linguistics. (Just saw your edit and I'd like to note that none of your posts here are gray. I don't even know if you and I are responding to the same thread at this point.)
