I guess I fail to see how math prepares you better to do biology than CS does. Neither major contains the domain specific knowledge that a biology degree would impart, so it seems like neither would prepare you better than the other. I'd also imagine that both involve more math than biology, so they are both sufficient in that department. And as I pointed out in my last paragraph, I'm not saying I agree with the article either... I was just pointing out that CS knowledge is useful outside of CS.
