Yes: That's definitely the way it should be! I agree 100% that CS is still young and cohesive enough for dedicated people to achieve both breadth and depth, which perhaps means "grand" single-person revolutionary breakthroughs can still be achieved: Karp made a similar point during one of the Turing centenary talks (*An Algorithmic View of the Universe [1,2]), positing that the field is not yet specialized enough to prevent an Alan Turing-like figure today to have a comprehensive view of the state-of-art of the discipline (!).
