How about:
A scientist trained in the liberal arts has another huge advantage: writing ability.
It might not be an "interesting" argument, but I remember my best college professor expressly lamenting that engineering students no longer knew how to write.
I also remember discovering the steady decline in the quality of datasheet & manual technical writing, starting somewhere in the late 80's.
