By that logic, chemistry is a branch of physics. Scientists argue about philosophy of science, because it's about their field. It doesn't make science a philosophy of science [EDIT: in previous version I wrote it the other way around]. > It's hard to do cosmology or particle physics without tripping over philosophy. "Shut up and calculate" can only take you so far. It's also hard to do cosmology or particle physics without using a computer, and scientists will argue the merits of C++ vs Julia vs Python; yet they aren't a branch of IT.
