You said basically what I was thinking. I just want to add the importance of _experience_ in differentiating the two. With more experience, I think you can become a better software engineer/developer. With computer science, it seems to be more of an "either you get it or you don't" situation, rather like higher level math. This is why you will get some really great developers that were just willing to put in the sweat equity, but maybe have a hard time with the only tangentially relevant math requirements.
