> Per the Dijstrka quote ("Computer science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes") Off topic, as the origin and precision of the quote doesn't affect your point, but: AFAICT the closest Dijkstra actually said to this was in https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.5555/25596.25598 https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.5555/25596.25598 : > As a result, primarily in the U.S., the topic became prematurely known as "computer science"---which actually is like referring to surgery as "knife science"---and it was firmly implanted in people's minds that computing science is about machines and their peripheral equipment.
