As I mentioned in another comment, programming languages have historically been designed as left-to-right sequences of nouns, verbs and adjectives, in a way that mimics the sentence organization of English. Coding is very much a practice of thinking within the structures of the English language, and its this mimicry of a spoken language which provides the context to apply those logic lessons to real life. Otherwise, it's just more math, which we've already established does not (on its own) provide a solid enough foundation to develop problem solving skills for most people. That's the difference, and why it's both a meaningful and accurate statement.
