Some of the best software engineers studied something else. Only because his training is in something else doesn't mean he didn't read up on it or is not knowledgeable about human behavior.
Also history kind of chronicles aggregate human behavior, so it's at least a related discipline.
I'm not saying he is knowledgeable, mind you, I just think you shouldn't pigeonhole people based on doing exactly what they studied. Because many people don't do exactly what they studied and are experts in it.
