> Oh please, the amount of math and (physical) science a typical CS major goes through is pretty laughable compared to a math, physics, or chem major. It's usually on par with biologists with a bit more calculus.
Sure, but CS isn't supposed to teach you physical science.
It's supposed to teach you logical reasoning, and at that we definitely are better. Most "hard science" students I know struggle through parsing a basic decision tree.
If I had to hire a logical thinker and couldn't hire a CS major, I'd definitely go for a philosophy major. Purely anecdotally, they're the only other discipline I've had a lot of success in teaching programming to.
