Computer science and math are very different than other fields, because they can stand independently most of the time.

If you're going to throw around phrases like "vast majority", can you cite numbers?

I do not have precise numbers, but I've worked on these issues with biologists, philosophers, physicists, computer scientists, mathematicians, and people in cognitive science, and also with librarians and people in charge of negotiating with publishers. What I told matches with what all these people also see from their point of view.
