That sounds good, but I think their point was that it works in the other direction too and you're ignoring it just because it's status quo. Right now, instead of becoming an expert in HCI, everyone is funneled into classes about database indices because some department chair thinks that "real" computer science is bit-twiddling and cache invalidation. You must specialize in the C before you can learn about the H in HCI. Why not the other way around? I think by far most of the problems that make development difficult are human problems. Why shouldn't we push all the CS students to study psych and writing first?
