>STEM PhD's apply rigorous logic to determine if something is true or false. But the same people, when thinking about non-STEM topics, throw logic, reason, and analysis out the window and just go with their gut feel. How much is it the other way round? >you cannot pretend something is working when it isn't. If you can verify any hypothesis with an experiment, you don't need logic. You can go with your gut feeling, and iterate until it works. Because the compiler and the program itself are bound by logic, software developers don't need to cultivate the same strict logical thinking that other disciplines need.
